Awards & Recognitions

WVU GMH has earned several prestigious awards in recent months, starting with a 5-Star Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in overall quality and patient experience. This rating reflects the hospital’s excellence in safety of care, mortality rates, patient experience, readmission rates, and timely and effective care. GMH was among just 381 hospitals nationwide to achieve the 5-star rating from CMS.

The hospital also earned the CMS 5-star ratings for staff responsiveness and cleanliness.

The cleanliness rating highlights WVU GMH’s commitment to maintaining a safe, hygienic, and welcoming environment for both patients and visitors.
