Hawai’I’s Only Hospital With a CMS 5-Star Cleanliness Rating
Jun 3, 2026
Adventist Health Castle has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the nation’s hospitals earning a 5-star cleanliness rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It is the only hospital in Hawaii to receive this distinction.
The CMS cleanliness rating is based on patient feedback about how clean and well-maintained they found the hospital environment. A 5-star rating reflects the highest level of patient satisfaction and highlights hospitals that consistently meet rigorous standards for cleanliness and care.
“Cleanliness is fundamental to how we deliver safe, high-quality care and support healing,” said Chase Aalborg, Adventist Health Castle President. “Earning a 5-star rating from CMS reflects the leadership of our EVS team and the shared responsibility across every department to maintain a clean, welcoming environment for our patients and community.”
Adventist Health Castle extends special appreciation to its Environmental Services (EVS) team, whose daily work is critical to ensuring a clean and healing environment, as well as to every employee who contributes to this shared commitment to excellence.
