Union Hospital is a non-profit facility that has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 2009.
According to CMS Care Compare, Union Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its rate of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is also reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' CMS did not publish data on healthcare-associated infection rates (catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile) for this facility; when a measure is not reported, it is often due to low case counts and should not be read as an indication of poor quality.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports nationally for inpatient rehab facilities, Union Hospital shows 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse — meaning its reported results are generally in line with national averages rather than notably above or below them.
