MAYVILLE, N.D. – Sanford Mayville Medical Center has been recognized as a 2023 Top 100 Critical Access Hospital by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. This annual recognition program honors outstanding performance amongst the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of The Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX™.
“Quality health care for rural communities is incredibly important because it allows our patients to access the care they need close to home,” said Jac McTaggart, senior director of Sanford Health Mayville Medical Center. “This recognition underlines the amazing work our incredible staff do each and every day for their community.”
“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.
