About this facility
Lake Huron Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Port Huron, Michigan, in St. Clair County. It has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 1990, and operates as a non-profit organization. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically including physical, occupational, and sometimes speech therapy — to help patients regain function and independence after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than requiring a longer-term custodial care setting.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Lake Huron Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is reported as No Different than the National Rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is also reported as No Different than the National Rate. CMS did not report additional facility-level results for healthcare-associated infections such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections or C. diff in the data provided.
Overall, CMS's comparative measures show this facility performing in line with national benchmarks: it is not flagged as better or worse than the national rate on any of the reported measures (0 better, 0 worse). This reflects a picture of consistency with national norms rather than a standout or a concern, based on the reported measures. Where information is not published, this is often related to sample size and should not be interpreted as an indicator of quality. This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data as most recently published.
