Saint Mary'S Standish Community Hospital in context
SAINT MARY'S STANDISH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL is a critical-access hospital in Standish, Michigan, running as a faith-based non-profit hospital. The facility is Medicare-certified under CMS Certification Number 231305, which is the join key across Hospital Compare, MACRA, and most state discharge scorecards.
CMS has not assigned an overall Hospital Compare star rating to this facility — usually because the hospital reports too few of the measure groups to qualify, which is common for critical-access hospitals and specialty facilities. On measure groups versus the national rate, the facility is: 2 mortality measures reported with none flagged; 4 readmission measures reported with none flagged. CMS's composite rating weights mortality, safety, readmission, patient experience, and timely & effective care across all reporting measures; it is not stratified by patient race.
Operationally: SAINT MARY'S STANDISH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL operates an emergency department (EMTALA-covered, which means it must screen and stabilize any patient regardless of ability to pay).
Statewide context: Detroit Medical Center's Receiving and Henry Ford Hospital carry most of the Detroit region's Medicaid + uninsured admissions. Michigan expanded Medicaid in 2014 through the Healthy Michigan Plan.
For Black patients
If you are a Black patient being seen at SAINT MARY'S STANDISH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL in Standish, Michigan, a few concrete steps:
- Bring an advocate. National data from CDC's Black maternal mortality review show the single biggest reduction in missed-diagnosis rates comes from a second set of ears in the room — a partner, a doula, a family member. Ask in advance that they be credentialed as a visitor; the hospital cannot turn away a designated support person.
- If you need ongoing primary care, our Michigan provider directory filters to physicians who accept Medicaid and speak Spanish / Haitian Creole / ASL where relevant. Filter to your insurance first.
- If the hospital doesn't take your coverage, the closest Federally Qualified Health Center is listed under our FQHCs in this area. FQHCs serve every patient on a sliding-fee scale regardless of insurance status.
- For help paying for care, the state Medicaid navigator at /medicaid/michigan/ explains eligibility, documents, and how to apply (same-day presumptive eligibility for pregnancy).
- If you are treated dismissively or your pain is ignored, every Medicare-certified hospital is required by CMS Conditions of Participation (42 CFR 482.13) to have a grievance procedure; file in writing and request the CMS regional office contact if the hospital ombuds does not respond within seven days.
