The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses a star rating system to convey the overall quality of acute care hospitals that service Medicare and Medicaid participants. The CMS rating methodology examines hospital-provided data on various quality measures, computes a standardized score for each measure, and then combines those scores into a single, overall quality rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with 5-stars being the top level on the scale. The specific quality measures examined include mortality experience, patient safety, readmission rates, patient experience, and the timeliness of care. Only hospitals that submit data used for the CMS rating methodology are eligible for an overall quality rating. As of September 20, 2025, there were twenty-five (25) acute care hospitals in the state of California that earned a five-star quality rating. Based on CMS analysis, here are the 25 five-star quality acute care hospitals in California (listed alphabetically):
