A Top Critical Access Institution

We have been named one of the top 20 critical access hospitals (CAHs) for Quality in the country by the National Rural Health Association. The top 20 CAHs have achieved success in overall performance based on a composite rating from eight indices of strength: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge, and finance.
