Androscoggin Valley Hospital (AVH) is proud to announce it has earned a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for hospital cleanliness—placing it among the cleanest hospitals in the nation, according to a recent report published by Becker’s Hospital Review.
This distinction reflects AVH’s continued commitment to patient safety, quality care, and providing a healing environment that meets the highest standards of cleanliness. Only 350 hospitals across the country achieved this 5-star cleanliness rating, based on data from CMS’s Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey.
The recognition is the result of exceptional teamwork and a shared focus on creating a safe, welcoming, and clean environment for every patient, every day. AVH’s Environmental Services staff, clinical teams, and support departments work collaboratively to uphold rigorous cleaning protocols and infection prevention standards.
The 5-star rating is based on how patients rated the cleanliness of their hospital room and bathroom during their stay. Receiving top marks from patients is a meaningful reflection of the trust and satisfaction AVH continues to build within the community.
