Patients Give Nine ICAHN Member Hospitals Five-Star Ratings
Eighteen more hospitals have a five-star recommendation from patients compared to December 2025.
Becker’s Hospital Review has compiled a list of the hospitals patients would recommend in each state using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
CMS created 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures. The patient recommendation star rating combines data from three HCAHPS survey questions and summarizes if patients would recommend the system to their friends and family. The star rating is based on survey data collected from hospital patients between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. The figures are from CMS’ Provider Data Catalog and were released May 13.
765 hospitals were given a five-star recommendation this year, up from 747 hospitals last year.
19 Illinois hospitals were named, 9 of which are ICAHN member hospitals.
- Carle Hoopeston Regional Health Center
- Crawford Memorial Hospital (Robinson)
- Deaconess Illinois Crossroads (Mount Vernon)
- Hammond Henry Hospital (Geneseo)
- Memorial Hospital (Carthage)
- Midwest Medical Center (Galena)
- St. Joseph Memorial Hospital (Murphysboro)
- Taylorville Memorial Hospital
- Wabash General Hospital (Mount Carmel)
