Update: The rating for Nyack Hospital in Nyack has been updated and changed to 2-Star.

Written by BRIAN MCCREADY (Patch Staff)

When it comes to hospital rankings in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties there is some good news and some bad news.

First the bad news. No hospitals from those three counties 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.

The good news is five hospitals from the region received ratings of either 4-stars or 3-stars for patient experience.

Five hospitals from the area also received 1-star ratings. There are 3,539 hospitals nationally and the number of 1-star ratings more than doubled from 102 in July to 242 now.

And the number of 5-star ratings for hospitals nationally also decreased significantly from 548 in July to 309 now.

Nationally, 1,135 hospitals received 4-star reviews, 922 hospitals 3-stars, and 931 hospitals also received 2-stars.
