Periodic surveys conducted by the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) are designed to measure patient satisfaction with recent stays at hospitals that treat Medicare and Medicaid participants. The CMS survey solicits input from recent patients about their inpatient stays, then combines those responses into an all-encompassing patient satisfaction rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with 5-stars being the scale's top score.  Based on the most current CMS patient surveys, twelve Kansas hospitals earned a five-star rating from patients.  Listed alphabetically, here are the hospitals in Kansas that rated as five-stars for patient experience according to CMS surveys (as of March 23, 2026):
