TPC Members joining the elite club of 5-Star-recognized hospitals include:
CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler, TX

CMS assigns ratings to more than 4,500 hospitals across the country, leveraging analysis of seven categories – mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, effectiveness of care, timeliness of care and efficient use of medical imaging.
Only 407 hospitals were given 5-star ratings in the Jan. 28 update, accounting for less than 10% of hospitals rated.
