Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital earned national recognition for
overall excellence in patient satisfaction and outcomes among all

Announced on National Rural Health Day (Nov. 15), The Chartis Center
of Rural Health and the National Organization of State Offices of
Rural Health (NOSORH) recognized the nonprofit hospital and other
top-performing rural hospitals with their annual Performance
Leadership Awards.
“At Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital, we have a vision to be a

extraordinary work being done each day by our dedicated staff,

The Performance Leadership Awards are determined each year using iVantage Health
Analytics’ Hospital Strength INDEX, the industry’s most comprehensive and
objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging data from public
data sources, the INDEX aggregates data from 50 rural-relevant metrics across
eight pillars to derive a single overall percentile rating for all Critical
Access Hospitals and Rural and Community Hospitals. The Performance Leadership
Awards spotlight top performance in the areas of quality, outcomes and patient
perspective.
“National Rural Health Day provides the ideal opportunity to spotlight the power
of rural and recognize those facilities excelling in quality, patient
satisfaction and outcomes,” said Michael Topchik, national leader, The Chartis
Center for Rural Health. “We’re thrilled to partner with NOSORH on this program
and commend this year’s recipients who are working diligently to provide quality
care within their communities.”
