About Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association Inc

Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association Inc 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, Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association Inc is mid-pack: $15,681 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association Inc's value rating (57/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.

Ownership is non-profit, the dominant pattern in U.S. acute care. Non-profit hospitals generally reinvest operating margins rather than distribute them; the federal CMS measure set treats them identically to other ownership categories for reporting purposes. 16 distinct procedures are documented in CMS payment files for Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association Inc. Top examples: Spinal Fusion (Non-Cervical) with MCC, Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement, Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with MCC. Emergency services are available, which is the norm for acute-care hospitals and a meaningful factor for any patient choosing a facility for unplanned care.
