Crete Area Medical Center Recognized for Performance Leadership by The Chartis Center for Rural Health
As part of National Rural Health Day, Crete Area Medical Center today announced it has been recognized with two 2023 Performance Leadership Awards for excellence in both Quality and Patient Perspective. Compiled by the Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards honor top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.
“We are honored to be recognized as a top performer in both quality and patient perspective. This award demonstrates the commitment we have to providing excellent, quality care to each and every patient,” said Stephanie Boldt, President and CEO of Crete Area Medical Center.
The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. INDEX data is relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations and state offices of rural health around the country to measure and monitor performance across several areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
“Wherever we go in rural America, we witness first-hand the commitment, determination, and compassion with which rural hospitals serve their communities. Rural healthcare truly is mission-driven,” said Michael Topchik, National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “This National Rural Health Day, let us recognize the efforts of this year’s Performance Leadership Award winners and all those driven to deliver high quality care throughout rural communities.”
