WHMC has been Recognized with 2025 Performance Leadership Award by The Chartis Center for Rural Health!

November 20, 2025 – As part of National Rural Health Day, Whitman Hospital & Medical Clinics (WHMC) announced it has earned a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Outcomes. 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 is the 5th time WHMC has received a Performance Leadership Award.

“As a public district hospital, we are proudly here to serve our communities with excellent services and care. I am truly thankful to our communities, board of commissioners and employees for their continued commitment to excellence” says Hank Hanigan, CEO.

The Performance Leadership Awards program is based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework for assessing how rural hospitals are performing. 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.”

Some of you may see billboards in our surrounding area suggesting that Whitman Hospital is closing. Please understand that while many rural hospitals across the nation are struggling to remain open, WHMC is not one of them. The ads are paid for by a political group, Help Save America, who have started a media campaign attempting to spread information to Washington voters. WHMC has not endorsed or paid for any of these advertisements. We remain dedicated to enhance the health and welfare of those we serve and are here to care for you.
