Author’s Note: A CMS spokesperson clarified May 17 that the legal name of the hospital was and still is Harrison Memorial Hospital as the facility had not changed its name officially with CMS. All investigative documents obtained by Kitsap Daily News contain the name Harrison Memorial Hospital as a result. The organization has requested the changing of the name to St. Michael Medical Center.
8 of 10 hospitals recently at risk of losing CMS funding have regained compliance. 5 of the 10 have A-C grades from The Leapfrog Group, while 5 have not been graded.
