Meade District Hospital
MEADE – As part of National Rural Health Day, Meade District Hospital has earned a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in patient perspective.
The Chartis Center for Rural Health’s Performance Leadership Awards program recognizes top quartile performance (i.e. 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in quality, outcomes and/or patient perspective.
The Performance Leadership Awards program is basedon 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 areas of quality, outcomes and patient perspective are cornerstones of health care delivery across rural America, and this year’s Performance Leadership Award recipients are establishing a standard of excellence for their rural health peers to follow,” Chartis Center for Rural Health Executive Director Michael Topchik said. “We are delighted to hine a spotlight on such strong performance and honor the achievement of these hospitals on National Rural Health Day.”
