Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, Parham Doctors’ Hospital, and Retreat Doctors’ Hospital in Richmond were the only hospitals in HCA Healthcare Capital Division to earn the top 5-star ranking.
The following hospitals earned the 4-star ranking:

“We are so proud of our HCA Virginia Health System hospitals that are leading healthcare in terms of quality,” said Elizabeth Mikula, HCA Healthcare Capital Division vice president of quality. “Only 3-4% of hospitals nationwide are 5 stars and roughly 10% are 4 stars. Our high rankings are directly related to our colleagues and the world-class care they provide our patients every day.”
CMS assigns star ratings to U.S. hospitals annually based on 46 hospital quality measures. These are divided into five quality categories: safety of care, mortality, patient experience, readmission rates, and timely and effective care.
Data reporting periods range from July 2018 to March 2022, depending on the measure.
