Huntington Hospital Earns CMS 5-Star Rating

HUNTINGTON, NY — Huntington Hospital was among five Northwell Health hospitals to earn five stars as part of the Medicare and Medicaid Services 2025 CMS Star Quality Rating System, the hospital announced.

This marks the first time that five Northwell hospitals earned the highest rating.

"Northwell has always been a health system that values quality of care and the overall patient experience above all else," said Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and CEO. "CMS holds our individual hospital teams accountable to that level of care and more. Star ratings provide a baseline for excellence that we strive to surpass with each patient encounter."

Glen Cove Hospital, Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson, Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco and Sharon Hospital in Connecticut joined Huntington Hospital in achieving five stars from CMS, the highest rating possible. The rating system uses data that evaluates outcomes, patient experience and process.

Only 10 percent of the 4,609 star-rated hospitals nationwide earned five-star status, which used Care Compare data between 2020 and 2023.

Nine Northwell Health hospitals received four-star or better ratings.
