Delaware hospitals: CMS star ratings compared

7 Medicare-certified

7 Medicare-certified hospitals serve Delaware, represented by the Delaware Healthcare Association. This page lists each one with what CMS Hospital Compare publishes about it: the overall star rating, and how its mortality, safety and readmission measures compare with the national rate.

ChristianaCare's Wilmington and Newark campuses carry the majority of Delaware's Medicaid-covered admissions. Delaware's statewide health scorecard is hosted by the Delaware Health Information Network.

The state's recognized safety-net hospital systems, the facilities that carry a disproportionate share of Medicaid and uninsured admissions, include ChristianaCare (Newark, Wilmington), and Nemours Children's Health.

A note on scope. CMS does not publish hospital ratings by patient race, so every rating on this page is CMS's overall figure for all patients. We do not rank hospitals as better or worse for Black patients without a primary source that measures it.

Safety-net systems in Delaware

  • ChristianaCare (Newark, Wilmington)
  • Nemours Children's Health

Community health centers are primary care: they see patients regardless of insurance, charge on a sliding scale that is often $0, and can manage a condition like blood pressure or diabetes long-term. Our directory of free and charitable clinics lists centers by state. A same-day telehealth visit is self-pay and is not billed to Medicaid, so an ongoing clinic relationship usually costs less over a year. If you want a telehealth visit sooner:
