The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses a star rating system for assessing the overall quality of an acute care hospital that treats Medicare and Medicaid enrollees. This rating methodology examines hospital-submitted data on assorted quality metrics, computes a standardized score for each measure, and then aggregates the scores into a unified overall quality rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with 5-stars being the scale's top score. Specific metrics examined for acute care hospitals include the timeliness of care, patient safety, readmission rates, patient experience, and mortality. As of September 1, 2025, only fifteen acute care hospitals in the state of Pennsylvania earned a CMS five-star quality rating. Listed alphabetically, here are the CMS five-star quality acute care hospitals in Pennsylvania:
