MSRH RECEIVES PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP AWARD 3RD YEAR IN A ROW
Mt. San Rafael Hospital has received a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in two categories – Quality and Outcomes – from the Chartis Center for Rural Health, as part of National Rural Health Day. Performance Leadership Awards, compiled by the Chartis Center for Rural Health, honor top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes, and/or Patient Perspective.
“We are really excited and so honored to have received this recognition by the Chartis Center,” said Kim Lucero, CEO of Mt. San Rafael Hospital. “Our team at the hospital and clinics works tirelessly on behalf of our patients and is fully dedicated to providing the highest quality care at every service point of our facility. This award is a result of the efforts and commitment from every level of our organization. Without our team’s ongoing diligence and compassion for quality, personalized care for every single patient, this award would not be possible.”
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.”
