CHADRON, Neb. – As part of National Rural Health Day, Chadron Hospital announced today it has earned a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in healthcare quality. Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards program recognizes top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes, and/or Patient Perspective.
“This award serves as a great validation of the incredible work that our care team does day in and day out to provide the best possible care for the region. I’m humbled and inspired by the care, compassion, and quality the Chadron Hospital team brings to the region, and I look forward to us accomplishing even greater things in the future,” said Jon Reiners, CEO of Chadron Hospital.
The Performance Leadership Awards program is based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework for assessing rural hospital performance. 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 healthcare delivery across rural America, and this year’s Performance Leadership Award recipients are establishing a standard of excellence for their rural peers to follow,” said Michael Topchik, Executive Director, Chartis Center for Rural Health. “We are delighted to shine a spotlight on such strong performance and honor the achievement of these hospitals on National Rural Health Day.”
