Which hospitals in Texas have a 5-star rating?
29 hospitals in Texas currently hold the CMS 5-star Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating, and 103 have 4 or 5 stars. Ratings combine mortality, safety, readmission, patient experience and timely care measures. Many smaller hospitals report too few measures to be rated.
What is a critical access hospital in Texas?

Are there VA hospitals in Texas?
Yes. We list 11 VA medical centers in Texas. Veterans need to be enrolled in VA health care for routine care; in an emergency, any hospital emergency room must screen and stabilize you.
What should I do in a medical emergency in Texas?
Call 911. Hospital emergency departments must screen and stabilize every patient regardless of insurance or ability to pay, under the federal EMTALA law. For minor illness and injuries, an urgent care clinic is usually faster and cheaper.
