You do not have to leave the peninsula to find the only hospital in northeast Wisconsin to earn a five-star rating for patient experience and overall hospital quality, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Door County Medical Center is one of fewer than 300 hospitals out of the more than 4,000 evaluated by CMS in the country to earn the distinction. The ratings consider key quality measures including mortality, safety of care, readmission rates, patient experience, and timely and effective treatment. While the top rankings are nice, DCMC Chief Quality Officer Nancy Daoust says they always work hard inside the hospital to get even better.

 

Door County Medical Center CEO Brian Stephens was complimentary of his team’s dedication, compassion, and expertise, which led to the top rankings. “We are deeply committed to delivering the highest standard of care to our community, and this recognition from CMS affirms that commitment.”
