As part of National Rural Health Day, Nemaha Valley Community Hospital today announced it has earned a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Quality and Patient Perspectives. 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—paired with our recognition as a Top 20 Critical Access Hospital for Overall Performance nationwide—highlights our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional patient care to Nemaha County and our surrounding communities,” said Kiley Floyd, NVCH CEO. “I am incredibly proud of our staff and their dedication to our Mission, Vision, and Values. The work we do each day ensures that the people we serve have access to high-quality, compassionate, and professional health care close to home.”

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.”

🏥Honoring the Strength of Rural Communities, Patients, and Providers

Each year on the third Thursday of November, communities across the country celebrate National Rural Health Day—a time to recognize the unique spirit that makes rural communities special and to honor those who care for the health and well-being of their neighbors.

❤️At Nemaha Valley Community Hospital, this day is especially meaningful. We are proud to serve a community where neighbors look out for each other and where patients are not just numbers—they are friends, family, and familiar faces.

❤️We are deeply grateful to our patients who entrust us with their care. Living in a rural community brings both strengths and challenges, and your commitment to choosing local care ensures that we can continue providing high-quality, compassionate services right here at home. You remind us every day why our mission matters.

❤️Behind every appointment, procedure, and hospital stay is a dedicated team of professionals who go above and beyond. From physicians, nurses, and therapists to lab, radiology, dietary, environmental services, and administrative staff—each person plays an essential role in ensuring our patients receive safe, personalized care. Our staff embody the best of rural health: commitment, compassion, and community spirit.

👩‍⚕️Why Rural Health Matters
Rural hospitals like NVCH are the backbone of health care access for smaller communities. We provide essential services—emergency care, primary care, specialty clinics, diagnostic imaging, therapy, and more—close to home. Without local hospitals, families would have to travel miles away for care, delaying treatment and adding stress.
