(KNOX) – The Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Fargo has earned a 5-star rating as part of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 2025 hospital quality ratings.

CMS’s hospital ratings are based on five categories: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience and timely and effective care. A higher star rating, out of 5, indicates better performance on these quality measures.

 This national distinction highlights the quality of care at VA Fargo and its commitment to being a High Reliability Organization (HRO) that consistently upholds high levels of safety and reliability.

An impressive 95% of Veterans served by VA Fargo stated they strongly agree that they trust VA Fargo for their healthcare needs, and 85% said they would definitely recommend VA Fargo to other Veterans. For context, the national average for such recommendations is 70%, while the local average in North Dakota is 76%.
