BEMIDJI — The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently awarded Sanford Bemidji Medical Center a four-star rating as part of the CMS 2023 Care Compare Program.

This designation was earned by 16% of the more than 3,000 U.S. hospitals ranked for quality measures and evidence-based safety practices.

  • Readmission
  • Patient Experience
  • Timely and Effective Care
