Connecticut Hospitals Rated First To Worst: Where Does Your Hospital Rate?

When it comes to hospital rankings in Connecticut there is some good news and some bad news.

First the bad news. No Connecticut based hospital received a 5-star rating, which is based on patient reviews compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital Compare list.

The time period covers patient surveys between Jan.1 and Dec. 31 of 2014, according to Healthcare Finance News. Patients receive the surveys at the end of their hospital care. The rankings are updated quarterly.
