Howard Memorial Hospital Earns 2024 Performance Leadership from The Chartis Center for Rural Health
As part of National Rural Health Day, Howard Memorial Hospital today announced it has earned a 2024 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Patient Perspective. Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards recognize top quartile
performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.
Stacy Harberson, CEO said “This award belongs to every single member of the Howard Memorial Hospital team who consistently strives achieve our mission of improving the health of the communities we serve. It is an honor and privilege to work with and be a part of this team. This recognition is a testament to the commitment and dedication to our patients, our facility, and our community. Each employee at HMH strives for excellence and it is incredible to see such accomplishments and outstanding results. We are honored to be the recipient of this award and motivated and excited to push toward the future with innovative ideas and service excellence.”
The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework for assessing how rural hospitals are performing. INDEX benchmarks are relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations, and state offices of rural health to measure performance across multiple areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
“The Performance Leadership Awards capture the commitment, diligence, and innovation with which America’s rural hospitals approach the delivery of care within their communities,” said Troy Brown, Network Consultant, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “It’s a tremendous honor to be able to recognize the efforts of this year’s award winners and celebrate their achievement as part of National Rural Health Day.”
Howard Memorial recently celebrated achieving Top 100 Critical Access Hospital in the nation, for the second year in a row, as well as their 75th anniversary.
