Lakes Regional Healthcare has been named one of the Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals in the United States for the sixth year in a row by The Chartis Center for Rural Health.
Now in its 14th year, the center analyzes rural hospitals through the Hospital Strength INDEX®, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance in the United States. Leveraging publicly available data, the index is trusted by rural hospitals, health systems and rural affiliates, hospital associations and state offices of rural health across the country to measure and monitor performance across a variety of areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
“I appreciate the high quality, compassionate care that our team provides every day to each of our patients,” said Lakes Regional Healthcare President and CEO Jason Harrington. “We do this because its what’s best for our patients and our community and not for the recognition. However, it is nice to be recognized for our good work!”
