SMH receives Top 100 status
As a part of the National Rural Health Association’s Annual Conference in New Orleans on Thursday, Feb. 13, Stephen Memorial Hospital was listed as one of the top 100 rural hospitals in the United States.
At the National Rural Health Association’s Rural Health Policy Institute conference, the Chartis Center for Rural Health unveiled the 2020 Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals and Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals.
According to the National Rural Health Association website, the ranking is based on the Hospital Strength INDEX. This index compares hospitals across the country based on financial, value and market-based indicators and provides a unique lens into a hospital’s performance. The ranking is based entirely on publicity available data, the INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance.
“We are deeply committed to providing the highest quality care to the members of our community. It is always nice to be recognized for our hard work but at the end of the day we do it for our patients,” Chris Curtis, Practice Administrator said. “Breckenridge is fortunate to have some of the best nurses and Providers in the business and our inclusion on the list of the top 100 rural hospitals in America proves that. We are working hard to help people see that just because we live in rural America doesn’t mean that we can’t have the highest level of healthcare possible. We are constantly looking for ways to do things even better. Our commitment to excellence will never stop.”
