SSM Health Ripon Community Hospital has been recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as one of the top-performing hospitals in the nation, earning a prestigious CMS 5-Star Patient Survey Rating.
In the CMS’ most recent release of patient experience data, SSM Health Ripon Community Hospital was among 250 hospitals earning a five-star patient survey rating.
The CMS calculates patient survey star ratings from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey, which summarizes patients’ experiences during a recent hospital stay. A five-star mark is the highest rating on the survey’s overall hospital rating measure. The data was last updated July 22 and made public August 13, and reflects surveys collected October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025.
“Earning a CMS 5-Star Patient Survey Rating is a tremendous honor and a reflection of the dedication our team members bring to their work every day,” according to Nicole Gill, SSM Health Ripon Community Hospital/SSM Health Waupun Memorial Hospital vice president, clinical and operations administrator. “From the moment a patient walks through our doors, our focus is on delivering safe, compassionate, high-quality care close to home. This recognition reinforces our commitment to serving the Ripon community with excellence.
“For our patients and families, this rating provides added confidence that they can receive exceptional care right here in their community,” Gill adds. “It speaks to the trust our patients place in us and the teamwork of our caregivers who go above and beyond every day.”
