About Grove Creek Medical Center
Grove Creek 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.
Payment metrics are favorable: Grove Creek Medical Center averages $11,078 per documented procedure, in the lower-cost bracket for U.S. acute-care hospitals. Grove Creek Medical Center's value rating (65/100) 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. The CMS payment record for Grove Creek Medical Center lists 8 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Cesarean Section without CC/MCC, Transient Ischemia, GI Hemorrhage 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.
