About Western Wisconsin Health
Western Wisconsin Health 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, Western Wisconsin Health is mid-pack: $16,137 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. Western Wisconsin Health's value rating (56/100) 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 Western Wisconsin Health lists 13 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Cesarean Section without CC/MCC, Heart Failure and Shock with CC, Vaginal Delivery without Complicating Diagnoses. The facility operates a 24-hour emergency department.
