About this facility
St Marys Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since July 1, 1984.

Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, measured both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is also no different than the national rate. On healthcare-associated infections, the facility's C. diff infection rate is better than the national benchmark; catheter-associated urinary tract infection data is not separately detailed here.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports for this facility, one is better than the national benchmark and none are worse than the national benchmark, with the remaining measures showing performance no different than the national rate. Where a measure is not reported, CMS often withholds it due to low case counts, which does not indicate poor quality.
