We are seeing stars at Russell Medical. Five stars, that is. We are proud to be among the top hospitals in the country and one of only six hospitals in Alabama to receive a 5-Star Overall Quality Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CMS recently updated its Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings for 2021, giving 455 hospitals the five-star rating. CMS assigned star ratings to hospitals nationwide based on their performance across five quality categories: Mortality; Safety of Care; Readmission; Patient Experience; and Timely and Effective Care. 

In case you missed it, I mentioned in last month’s article that we received an ‘A’ safety rating from the Leapfrog Group, a national distinction recognizing Russell’s achievements protecting patients from errors, injuries, accidents and infections. So you see, our commitment to exceptional care is evident. Our patient-centered staff members are quality-focused every day. So you can feel comfortable that whenever you place the care of a loved one in our hands, you can be sure they’re in the safest and most compassionate hands possible.Â
