CINCINNATI (August 14, 2025) – The Christ Hospital has once again received a five-star rating from The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings List for 2025. Only 290 hospitals received a five-star rating nationwide. The Christ Hospital is one of just two hospitals in Cincinnati and one of 16 in the entire state of Ohio to achieve five stars.
CMS’ star rating system, which launched in 2016, assigns stars based on 45 quality measures in the following five categories: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience and timely and effective care. CMS rated more than 4,600 hospitals with the following breakdown: one star: 233 hospitals, two stars: 661, three stars: 939, four stars: 767, five stars: 291. Only 10.1% of hospitals reviewed were awarded a five-star rating.
The Star Ratings help hospitals and health systems drive systematic improvements in care and safety harnessing the power of process improvement to improve quality and lower costs. Consumers and patients point to Hospital Compare and the Star Ratings as important resources by which they determine who their provider of care will be.
“We are honored to be among a select group of hospitals that continues to achieve the highest quality rating offered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,” said Debbie Hayes, President and CEO of The Christ Hospital Health Network. “When patients choose where to go for their healthcare, this data provides a great resource that gives them insights which validates the efforts of our talented and dedicated team members. Our providers continue to do everything it takes to improve the health of the community and to remain a destination center for the finest healthcare in the region.”
This award comes on the heels of The Christ Hospital being named the #1 Hospital in the Cincinnati Region for the eleventh year in a row by U.S. News & World Report. To see the full list of five-star rated hospitals and the entire report, click here.
