About Kensington Hospital
Kensington Hospital 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.

Average Medicare payment per documented procedure at Kensington Hospital is $17,590, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. Combined cost-and-quality value comes to 54/100 — a middling result, reflecting either average quality at average cost or trade-offs in one direction.
Ownership is non-profit, the dominant pattern in U.S. acute care.

Top examples: Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement, Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedure with Drug-Eluting Stent, Spinal Fusion (Non-Cervical) with MCC.
