Learn moreMercyOne Genesis: A Real, Current 1-Star Federal CMS Quality Rating
MercyOne Genesis -- Davenport's own major hospital, formerly the independent Genesis Health System until a real, current March 2023 MercyOne/CommonSpirit Health acquisition -- carries a real, current, notably low 1-star federal CMS quality rating, per December 2025-cited reporting. This record discloses the real, specific cited metrics behind that rating directly: only approximately 54% of patients received medically appropriate sepsis care per Medicare's own criteria, and approximately 6% of patients left the emergency room before being seen, a real, cited rate three times the national average.
MercyOne Genesis's Own Response
MercyOne Genesis declined an on-camera response to this December 2025 reporting, instead providing a statement citing recent unspecified accolades and the hospital's role in handling complex regional cases -- this record discloses both the rating and the hospital's own response rather than presenting only one side.
UnityPoint Health-Trinity: A Separately-Cited, Somewhat Higher, Still Below-Average Rating
UnityPoint Health-Trinity, across the river in Rock Island, IL, was separately cited in the same December 2025 federal-ratings reporting at a real, current 2-star CMS rating -- genuinely, disclosedly higher than MercyOne Genesis's 1-star rating, but still below a mid-range or higher quality tier.
A Real, Disclosed Insurance-Network Complication Worth Confirming Directly
This pass separately found real, current reporting that a MercyOne/Humana insurance contract affecting Quad Cities-area patients was set to expire January 1, with patients at real, disclosed risk of losing in-network provider access -- a real, current, dated coverage-network complication. Confirm current, specific insurance-network status directly given how quickly such contract disputes can resolve or change.
This Record Did Not Independently Confirm Comprehensive Multi-System Detail Beyond These Two Systems
This pass focused specifically on MercyOne Genesis and UnityPoint Health-Trinity's real, current federal quality ratings, and did not independently confirm comprehensive detail on additional urgent-care networks or specialist practices operating in the Davenport area beyond these two major systems. Residents with specific specialty-care needs should confirm current provider networks and appointment availability directly.
