RCH sits in the bottom tier on the overall star RCH is 2 of 5 — below LLUMC (4), the Kaiser plants (3–4), Eisenhower (4), Chino Valley (4), and tied with St. Bernardine, Arrowhead, LLU-Murrieta, Riverside Community and Desert Regional. The market tops out at 4 stars (no 5-star hospital); only Hemet Global is a 1.
One specific clinical liability RCH's stroke 30-day mortality is the ONLY "worse-than-national" mortality measure across all 21 hospitals. Every other RCH mortality measure is "no different than national." This is the exact metric the Service-Line roadmap's Stroke Center fixes.
Real bright spots RCH's "would definitely recommend" is 75% — 4th of 21 (above its 2-star overall would suggest), HCAHPS is 3-star, and sepsis SEP-1 = 82% is 5th of 21, beating LLUMC (56%) and Eisenhower (56%).
Watch-items ED throughput (222 min) is bottom-third — slower than every same-county safety-net rival (Community Hosp SB 147, St. Bernardine 181, Arrowhead 207). MRSA SIR 1.06 runs slightly above national. MSPB 1.05 is mid-pack; Kaiser Fontana (0.93) is the cost-efficiency leader.
