About hospitals in San Diego

Hospitals deliver inpatient medical and surgical care, emergency services, and diagnostic testing. Medicare-certified hospitals receive CMS star ratings that cover mortality, safety, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care.

Think of ratings as a beginning, not a final word. Look at the inspection findings, staffing levels, and quality measures that sit behind each score, and verify that the services you actually need are available.

Where you can, visit each option in San Diego, CA, ask how care plans are created and revisited, and get costs, coverage, and availability confirmed in writing. Steady staffing and open communication with families count for as much as any published rating.
