Wisconsin Hospitals Lead the Nation in Patient Experience Ratings

Sep 28, 2026 | News & Notes

Wisconsin hospitals continue to rank among the nation’s best for patient experience. According to the latest Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Patient Survey Star Ratings, Wisconsin tied for the highest number of hospitals earning five-star patient experience ratings in the nation.

The ratings are based on patient feedback regarding communication, responsiveness, care transitions, and overall hospital experience. Wisconsin also ranked first nationally in nurse communication and discharge information, reflecting the state’s commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.

“At Stoughton Health, providing exceptional care has always been about more than medical expertise. It’s about creating a positive experience for every patient and family we serve,” said Chris Brabant, President and CEO of Stoughton Health. “We’re proud to be part of a state that continues to be recognized nationally for delivering compassionate, high-quality care and outstanding patient experiences.”

The annual CMS Patient Survey Star Ratings are designed to help patients compare hospitals based on the experiences of those who have received care there.
