HUNTINGTON, IN – In observance of National Rural Health Day, Parkview Huntington Hospital has earned a 2024 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in outcomes from The Chartis Center for Rural Health.
The Performance Leadership Awards recognize top quartile performance among rural hospitals in three categories: quality, outcomes and/or patient perspective. This year is the sixth
Performance Leadership Award received by Parkview Huntington Hospital since 2016 and has been named a Top 100 hospital by Chartis four times over that same span.
“Our patients know that they have access to high-quality care and a great experience whenever they walk through the doors at Parkview Huntington Hospital,” said Deb Potempa, market
president, Parkview Health South. “We’re proud to once again be recognized by The Chartis Center as one of the nation’s top-performing rural hospitals as we continue to deliver excellent
service to Huntington County and the surrounding area.”
The Performance Leadership Awards are 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.
Parkview Huntington Hospital was not the only facility recognized by The Chartis Center this year, as Parkview DeKalb Hospital was also recognized for outcomes. Parkview Bryan Hospital,
LaGrange Hospital and Parkview Whitley Hospital were also recognized in the quality category by Chartis this year.
“Serving small communities is a big part of what Parkview does, with hospitals and physician offices across more than 20 rural counties in northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio,” said Dr. Greg
Johnson, regional market president for Parkview Health. “Rural hospitals are crucial to providing our communities with great care that is close to home, where they need it and when they need it.”
