Greater Regional Health has been named among the 2025 Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Chartis’ annual Top 100 award program honors outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®.
“The Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals award program elevates the very best performers and helps create a roadmap for those seeking to improve financial and operational performance while continuing to care for the communities they serve,” said Michael Topchik, Executive Director, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “This is our 15th year recognizing the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals and we’re thrilled to be able to celebrate this milestone with this year’s winners.”
The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging publicly available data, the INDEX is utilized 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.
Greater Regional Health has been acknowledged as a Top Critical Access Hospital for seven consecutive years. This honor highlights the exceptional care and compassion our patients experience at Greater Regional Health. Being recognized as a Top Critical Access Hospital for seven straight years is a significant accomplishment that demonstrates our dedication to healthcare excellence and our commitment to delivering exceptional service to our community for many years ahead.
It’s inspiring to see Greater Regional Health recognized among the top 100, because achievements like this highlight the dedication of medical teams to patient care. At the same time, it reminds me how critical accountability is in healthcare. Even in respected institutions, mistakes can happen, and when they do, patients and families deserve protection. That’s one of the reasons I believe having access to a trusted Medical Malpractice lawyer matters so much. Strong legal guidance ensures patients’ rights are upheld, safeguards standards of care, and gives families confidence that their wellbeing is taken seriously even in difficult situations.
