State figures are the average of centers in the state. 'CMS:' notes show CMS's own verdict after accounting for statistical uncertainty.
What patients say (ICH-CAHPS survey)
CMS has not published these measures for this center (usually because too few patients were treated in the reporting period, or the center is new).
