About Mary Bridge Children's Hospital
Mary Bridge Children's 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. The CMS Hospital Compare measures break roughly evenly between better- and worse-than-benchmark performance, which is the modal pattern across U.S. hospitals.
Average payment per documented procedure at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital is $20,240 — among the higher-cost facilities in the dataset. The composite value score of 49/100 puts Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.
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 Mary Bridge Children's Hospital lists 15 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedure with Drug-Eluting Stent, Syncope and Collapse, Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure. 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.
