MOUNT GILEAD —As part of the National Rural Health Day celebration, Morrow County Hospital announced it has been recognized with a 2022 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in patient outcomes.
Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards honor top quartile performance (e.g., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes, and Patient Perspective.
“I’m incredibly proud of our team for this recognition,” said Mike Hyek, president Morrow County Hospital. “With a mission to improve the health of those we serve, being recognized for patient outcomes once again says we continue to prioritize the patient and are doing exactly what we should be doing when it comes to providing exemplary care.”
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 trusted and relied upon 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 several areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
