About Union General Hospital
Union General 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 Union General Hospital is $16,688, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The combined value score — quality versus cost — works out to 55/100, an above-average showing.
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.
