Compare 18 Hospital Ratings
in South Dakota
Patient satisfaction ratings and HCAHPS quality scores for every CMS-registered hospital in South Dakota. Data is sourced directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) — the same source used by Medicare Care Compare — and updated quarterly.
Important notice. Hospital ratings on this page reflect patient satisfaction survey responses collected by CMS through the HCAHPS program — they are not clinical quality grades or physician recommendations. Ratings measure how patients reported their care experience, not medical outcomes. Do not use this page to make emergency medical decisions. For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. To verify a hospital's clinical accreditation, consult The Joint Commission or Medicare Care Compare. How we use this data →
