Highly Reputable Organizations Laud Milford Regional for its Continued Excellence
Milford Regional Medical Center continues to be recognized by a number of highly distinguished healthcare organizations that laud the hospital’s excellence in a number of areas.
Over the summer, Milford Regional was bestowed with three notable honors, including a 5-star ranking from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
This ranking is the highest given by CMS and is awarded to only 16 percent of the 3,076 qualifying hospitals. The five-star ranking signifies Milford Regional performed exceptionally well when assessed in the areas of safety of care, timely and effective care, mortality, patient experience and readmission.
For the first time, Milford Regional was included among only 153 other hospitals nationally on Becker’s Hospital Review 2023 “Great Community Hospitals” list. As part of its determination of what hospitals to include on its annual list, Becker’s editorial team evaluates performance from outside rankings and ratings organizations. Our strong and consistent consumer/patient-focused rankings from Leapfrog and Healthgrades were among the publication’s rationale for Milford Regional’s inclusion on this distinguished list.
Milford Regional, once again, received an “A” grade for outstanding social responsibility on the 2023/24 Lown Institute Hospitals Index, ranking number one in Massachusetts and 42nd nationally for patient safety. This index is the only ranking to include metrics of health equity and value of care alongside patient outcomes.
“These acknowledgements speak volumes about Milford Regional’s ability to put its patients first. Our care team’s ability to consistently deliver personalized, high-quality care further underscores our continued commitment to serving our community,” said Milford Regional Medical Center President and CEO Edward J. Kelly.
