WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital has received the five-star award once again from The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for patient recommendation.

The five-star rating received is the highest rating possible, something that very few hospitals nationwide achieve.

The data comes from CMS’s Hospital Compare which displays hospital performance data in a consistent, unified manner. The award was based on patients’ responding to the question, “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?”

Skip Gjolberg, President and CEO of St. Joseph’s Hospital, stated, “Our top ranking fills me with happiness. Our ability to be recommended by patients to their loved ones is a testament to our staff’s unwavering commitment. It highlights our ongoing dedication to offering the best patient care to our community.”
