Greenwich Hospital at Its Best With Five-Star Rating

A message from the president of Greenwich Hospital

For a second consecutive year, Greenwich Hospital has earned a five-star hospital quality rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) – the highest distinction offered by a federal agency.

Found on Medicare’s Care Compare website, the CMS rating provides consumers with a simple way to compare the quality and performance of hospitals. The ratings are based on more than 40 quality measurements in five categories: mortality, safety of care, readmissions after treatment of common conditions, patient experience, and timely and effective care.

This designation is a tremendous honor that recognizes our culture of excellence and the dedication of our physicians, nurses and staff who deliver exceptional care each and every day. They are the reason why thousands of Connecticut and New York residents turn to Greenwich Hospital for their care.

It’s also the reason we are able to recruit top-notch healthcare professionals across all disciplines, including the surgical specialties cited in this issue’s cover story. These medical experts want to work for Greenwich Hospital and Yale New Haven Health because we put safety and quality at the forefront.

From our modern surgical facilities to our advanced technology, Greenwich Hospital offers an exceptional surgical experience, no matter how challenging or routine the case. Our highly skilled, board-certified surgeons work alongside anesthesiologists, physician assistants and specially trained nurses to ensure patients and their loved ones receive the best care.

It’s no wonder that Greenwich Hospital is the region’s provider of choice.

— Diane P. Kelly, President
