About Burke Medical Center
Burke Medical Center does not carry an overall CMS Hospital Compare star rating — typically because the hospital is too small, too specialized, or reports too few of the underlying measures to compute the composite. The CMS Hospital Compare measures break roughly evenly between better- and worse-than-benchmark performance, which is the modal pattern across U.S. hospitals.
Cost-wise, Burke Medical Center is mid-pack: $14,486 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. The combined value score — quality versus cost — works out to 59/100, an above-average showing.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Burke Medical Center in the investor-owned segment of U.S. hospitals. The category is overrepresented in some markets and absent in others, and the CMS measure set treats it identically to non-profits for reporting. 10 distinct procedures are documented in CMS payment files for Burke Medical Center. Top examples: Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement, Cervical Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC, Cellulitis with MCC. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
