NEWTON, Kan., (February 20, 2023) – NMC Health today announced it has once again been recognized as a 2023 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital. Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, this annual recognition program honors outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX™.

“I am so proud of our NMC Health team for the amazing work they do each and every day that makes this recognition possible. Receiving this honor six years in a row is truly remarkable,” said NMC Health President and CEO Val Gleason. “Chartis rates hospitals across eight performance pillars and 36 rural-relevant metrics. Maintaining these rigorous standards is a true testament to every staff member’s commitment to providing top quality care for those in our community.”

“Across the nation, top 100 rural providers continue to serve as a source of inspiration for hospital leadership teams and staff working diligently every day to improve the delivery of care within their local communities,” said Michael Topchik, National Leader, the Chartis Center for Rural Health. “The list of award winners in each category is as geographically diverse as we’ve seen in some time, which is wonderful to see. We’re thrilled to be able to honor the outstanding efforts of these top performing rural hospitals.”

Now in its 13th year, 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 affiliates, 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.
