MCMC was recently recognized as a 2023 Top 100 Critical Access Hospital. Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, this recognition honors outstanding performance among the nation's rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX™.
"Each year, Chartis provides the most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance in the United States. The areas of focus for the assessments are excelling in managing risk, achieving higher quality, securing better outcomes, increasing patient satisfaction, and operating at a lower cost than peers. We were 1 of 8 facilities in Minnesota to be recognized," said Luke Schryvers, CEO, Murray County Medical Center.
"We are honored to receive this recognition of the outstanding care and service we provide to our patients and community here at MCMC."
"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.
