MAYVILLE, N.D. – For the second consecutive year, Sanford Mayville Medical Center has been recognized as a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Chartis’ annual Top 100 award program recognizes outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX ®.
“Securing the Top 100 Critical Access Hospital for the third consecutive year is a remarkable achievement that fills us with great pride,” said Jac McTaggart, Sanford Mayville senior director. “Each year, we strengthen our position as a beacon of excellent health care, solidifying our role as a vital asset to our rural communities. This consistent recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to deliver world class health care, and we remain committed to excellence for the well-being of those we are privileged to care for.”
“During an era of profound uncertainty for rural health care, the Top 100 rural hospitals continue to provide a unique lens through which we can identify innovation and inspiration for how to delivery high quality care to increasingly vulnerable populations,” said Michael Topchik, national leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health.
Now in its 14th year, the INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Featuring a methodology utilizing publicly available data, the INDEX is leveraged nationwide by rural hospitals, health systems, with rural affiliates, hospital associations and state offices of rural health to measure and monitor performance across a variety of areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
