Minnesota Hospitals Rated Five-Star in CMS Patient Surveys

Periodic surveys done by the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) are aimed at measuring patient satisfaction with recent stays at hospitals that treat Medicare and Medicaid participants. The CMS survey solicits input from consumers about their recent inpatient hospital stays, then combines those responses into a patient satisfaction rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with 5-stars being the top score. Based on these patient surveys, 16 Minnesota hospitals earned a five-star rating from patients. Listed alphabetically, here are the sixteen hospitals in Minnesota that rated as five-stars for patient experience according to CMS surveys (as of March 11, 2026):
