Ascension St. John Broken Arrow Earns Five-Star Rating from CMS

Today, Ascension St. John Broken Arrow announced it received a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 2025 Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings. These ratings, which assess quality of care, patient safety and patient experience, are essential for patients and families making informed healthcare decisions.

The CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings are derived from 46 publicly reported quality measures across five quality domains: Mortality, Patient Experience, Readmission, Safety of Care, and Timely and Effective Care. These quality measures are aggregated and a single composite star rating is assigned by CMS for each hospital, with five stars indicating the highest level of hospital performance. CMS requires all hospitals participating in Medicare to collect data for each quality measure, which are reported on Care Compare.

In 2025, CMS reported a star score for 2,891 U.S. hospitals with the national average star rating decreasing from 3.13 stars in 2024 to 3.08stars in the current year. Ascension had 41 hospitals receive a star rating with the average rating across all facilities of 3.37 stars. Of those Ascension facilities, approximately 21 earned either a five- or four-star rating, reflecting a superior level of performance compared to hospitals with three or fewer stars.

“The CMS Hospital Star Ratings give patients and families a clear picture of how hospitals perform on the things that matter most — safety, quality, and compassionate care,” said Matt Adams, president of St. John Broken Arrow. “Earning a five-star rating is more than a number — it’s a reflection of the heart our associates put into every moment, every patient, every day. Their deep commitment to bring health, healing, and hope to all is what truly makes this recognition possible.”

Three Ascension hospitals achieved the prestigious five-star rating, highlighting their outstanding performance in all evaluated quality measures: 

Additionally, the following 18 Ascension hospitals achieved four-star ratings:

Patients, families and communities can view hospital star ratings on the Care Compare website, a tool designed to support informed healthcare decisions.
