Once again, Sauk Prairie Hospital is one of only three hospitals in Wisconsin to receive a five-star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for both Overall Quality and Patient Experience.
“This distinction is not just a badge—it’s a reflection of the extraordinary care, compassion, and commitment our team brings to every person, every day,” said Shawn Lerch, CEO of Sauk Prairie Healthcare. “At Sauk Prairie Healthcare, delivering safe, high-quality, and personalized care isn’t a goal—it’s our standard. This consistent recognition by CMS validates the deep dedication our team has to excellence in every interaction, and we are proud to have earned this highest rating year after year.”
The Overall Quality rating is based on various quality measures across five areas and data hospitals report through CMS programs. The rating helps consumers compare hospitals nationally by summarizing their performance into a single, easy-to-understand star rating.
The Patient Experience rating is based on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey responses. This survey measures patients’ perspectives on hospital care, summarizing 10 key aspects of the patient experience into a single star rating.
