Data sources: wait times are typical waits to first assessment, or the average of visitor reports in the last hour where there are any. Overall rating, ownership, visit volume, median time spent in the ER and the share of patients who left before being seen come from the CMS Hospital Care Compare data. CMS ratings are a broad summary, not a measure of whether a hospital is right for your situation. “—” means the hospital doesn't report that measure to CMS.
