Penrose-St. Francis is one of six top-rated hospitals in all of Colorado and the only health system in southern Colorado to earn this distinguished rating.

Our sister hospital, Mercy Regional Medical Center (MRMC), was also recognized with a five-star rating for the fourth consecutive time. Receiving five-star ratings for excellent quality is proof of the relentless commitment by every caregiver at Penrose-St. Francis to pursue excellence in every aspect of whole person care.
The overall hospital quality star ratings are based on a variety of measures from seven categories, including mortality, safety of care, re-admissions, patient experience, effectiveness of care, timeliness of care and efficient use of medical imaging.
The CMS Five-Star Quality Rating is an evaluation system that helps patients, families and caregivers compare healthcare facilities more effectively by giving each facility a rating between one and five stars on its combined performance in health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures.
