The Minneapolis VA Medical Center got it’s CMS rating today; based on mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and access. We are one of 2 (out of 19) Twin cities hospitals to get the highest 5-star rating. The VA is outstanding- but under threat.

Minneapolis VA’s CMS.gov rating. A perfect 5 stars, with national average being 3.
