Craig, Colorado – November 16, 2023

As part of National Rural Health Day, Memorial Regional Health today announced it has been recognized with a 2023 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Quality. Compiled by the Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards honor top quartile performance (i.e., 75^th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.

“I am incredibly proud that Memorial Regional Health has been honored with the 2023 Performance Leadership Award in Quality. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional healthcare services to our community.  It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented team at MRH.  We remain steadfast in our mission to deliver high-quality care, and this award motivates us to continue striving for excellence in health for rural northwest Colorado.” said MRH CEO Jennifer Riley.

The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. INDEX data is relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations and state offices of rural health around the country to measure and monitor performance across several areas impacting hospital operations and finance.

“Wherever we go in rural America, we witness first-hand the commitment, determination, and compassion with which rural hospitals serve their communities. Rural healthcare truly is mission-driven,” said Michael Topchik, National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “This National Rural Health Day, let us recognize the efforts of this year’s Performance Leadership Award winners and all those driven to deliver high-quality care throughout rural communities.”
