Minnesota hospitals — FAQ

How many Medicare-certified hospitals are in Minnesota?
136 Medicare-certified hospitals operate in Minnesota as of the CMS Hospital General Information snapshot (2026-05-07). 41 carry a CMS overall star rating, averaging 3.80 of 5.
What kinds of hospitals does Minnesota have?
Minnesota's hospitals break down by CMS hospital type (acute care, critical access, children's, psychiatric and more) and by ownership (government, proprietary, and voluntary non-profit). 86.0% offer emergency services. The breakdown tables on this page aggregate every facility CMS lists in the state.
What does the CMS overall star rating mean?
The CMS overall hospital rating (1–5 stars) summarizes performance across measure groups such as mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely & effective care. CMS does not rate every hospital; facilities below the reporting threshold show no rating and are excluded from the state average rather than counted as zero.
Where does this hospital data come from and how current is it?
All columns trace to the CMS Hospital General Information dataset (PDC xubh-q36u), source-modified 2026-01-26, redistributed unaltered as US-Government-Works public domain. Each hospital links to a provenance page; cross-check any facility at Medicare.gov.
