Hospitals vary on meeting performance metrics and patient satisfaction measures. Using data-led, quality comparison rankings can be helpful in determining at which hospital to seek care. St. Anthony Community Hospital and two other member hospitals of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) participate in Healthgrades, a leading resource for comparative analysis and information about physicians and health systems. These three hospitals, Good Samaritan Hospital, in Suffern, NY; St. Anthony Community Hospital, in Warwick, NY; and Bon Secours Community Hospital, in Port Jervis, NY have each earned Five-Star ratings for multiple service lines from Healthgrades.

Ratings and Methodology
A Five-Star rating indicates that the hospital’s clinical outcomes are statistically better than the national average when performing the surgeries or procedures being assessed. This includes how well a hospital safeguards patients from potential complications and the service line’s ability to care for complex conditions.
From 2017-2020, Healthgrades evaluated approximately 45 million Medicare-patient records for nearly 4,500 short-term acute-care hospitals nationwide, assessing hospital performance relative to 34 common conditions and procedures.
