You should be checking up on your doctors, medical facilities, etc, to ensure you're getting the best care for you and loved ones. Stay informed and stay well!
I suspect that you know there is an accreditation process. It’s done by CMS. Hospitals fear the days that CMS shows up. Hospitals are rated 1-5. This rating must be posted. This includes phone numbers and addresses to contact CMS. Last I knew TV hospital was a 2.
