Cleveland’s VA Hospital received a five-star rating in The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ annual Quality Star Ratings this year.
This year marks the first time VA hospitals have been included in the rating, and two-thirds of VA medical centers across the nation received four-to-five-star ratings.
Dr. Shereef Elnahal, the under-secretary for health at the Veterans Health Administration, said the Cleveland VA Hospital has been one of their top-performing medical centers for years. "The affiliation with Cleveland Clinic, the fact that we share faculty is really important, but also, we score very well on particular areas of care, especially cardiology, and really important complex care out of the Cleveland VA on top of the essential primary care and mental health that we offer there," Elnahal said.
Elnahal said he wants to remind veterans who were employed in a combat zone and left between Sept. 11, 2001, and Oct. 1, 2013, that they are eligible to enroll in VA healthcare without applying for VA benefits first, and the enrollment period ends in September.News 5 Now Evening Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.

Water-quality risks linked more to social factors than moneyWhen we determine which communities are more likely to get their water from contaminated supplies, median household income is not the best measure. That's according to a recent study that found social factors -- such as low population density, high housing vacancy, disability and race -- can have a stronger influence than median household income on whether a community's municipal water supply is more likely to have health-based water-quality violations.
