We’re proud to share that Coryell Memorial Hospital has been named one of Texas’ top-recommended hospitals by Becker’s Hospital Review.

Coryell Memorial Hospital in Gatesville, Texas, has received a significant endorsement from Becker’s Hospital Review, being named one of the top-recommended hospitals in Texas. This recognition, announced on February 6, 2026, is based on patient feedback collected by the centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

How Recommendations are Measured

The ranking stems from data within the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). Becker’s Hospital Review utilized publicly available HCAHPS data to identify hospitals patients are most likely to recommend to friends and family. The key question driving the ratings is simple: “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?”

Did You Know? CMS requires hospitals to have at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys over a four-quarter period to be eligible for a star rating.

Data Collection and Analysis

The patient data used for this assessment was gathered throughout 2024 and officially released by CMS on November 26 through its Provider Data Catalog. Hospitals included in the Becker’s report with an asterisk indicate that CMS included a footnote regarding their data.

Hospital Leadership Responds

“We are incredibly proud to be recognised by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the most recommended hospitals in Texas,” stated David Byrom, chief executive officer of Coryell Health. He emphasized that the recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects the direct experiences and opinions of patients, and acknowledges the dedication of the hospital’s physicians, nurses, and staff.

Expert Insight: Patient recommendations are a critical indicator of hospital quality, reflecting not only clinical care but also the overall patient experience, including communication, responsiveness, and a sense of trust.
