Quality Care

Several independent organizations rate hospital quality based on certain features of care that have been proven to impact health outcomes. 

St. Lawrence Health strives to meet or exceed benchmarks for reliable and valid measurements of quality. Some benchmarks do not apply and, in some cases, a rating may not be available because our hospitals don't perform enough of a particular type of procedure to make the rating statistically significant. In other words, the rating would not be reliable or valid.
