Mather, a Magnet hospital, is nationally recognized for patient safety and highly rated for patient experience. Three CMS five-star hospitals on Long Island alone proves our commitment to quality care and excellent outcomes, from the environmental service workers and cooks to our nurses and clinicians.' 'I’m proud to say this was our best showing yet as a health system. 'Northwell Health analyzes the results of each hospital’s CMS report each year, internalizes them, course corrects where needed and strives to reach higher,' said Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and CEO. CMS, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, created the five-star rating to help consumers identify health care facilities by quality metrics, which include patient outcomes such as mortality, safety of care, readmissions, patient experience and timely and effective care.

Northwell, New York State’s largest health system and private employer, saw 11 of the 12 hospitals evaluated either maintain or improve their CMS standing since 2022. Northwell also earned four-star ratings at Glen Cove Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco and Staten Island University Hospital. Just 15 percent of the 4,654 star-rated hospitals nationwide earned five-star status, which used Care Compare data between 2018-2022. North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, Huntington Hospital and Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson each scored five stars from CMS, the highest rating possible using data that evaluates outcomes, patient experience and process.
