Fort Memorial Hospital has announced that it has been recognized as a 2022 Top 100 Rural and Community Hospital, according to a recent news release.
Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the annual recognition program honors outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX™, the release stated.
“We are proud to be named a Top 100 Rural and Community Hospital once again. In another year of challenges, the combination of our people working with our mission, vision and values has kept us on track for continuously achieving recognitions like the Top 100,” Mike Wallace, president and CEO of Fort HealthCare was quoted as saying in the release.
“Despite unprecedented adversity, rural providers continue to display resiliency and a steadfast commitment to their communities. Honoring the Top 100 is one of the high points of our year. We are delighted to recognize the exceptional performance and innovation of this year’s recipients, particularly in light of the extraordinary challenges facing America’s rural health safety net,” Michael Topchik, national Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health, noted in the release.
Over the course of the last 12 years, the INDEX has established itself as the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging publicly available data, the INDEX is trusted by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations and state offices of rural health across the country to measure and monitor performance across a variety of areas impacting hospital operations and finance, the release continued.
