 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
national leader for excellence in patient care. Awards like the
Performance Leadership provide us an opportunity to recognize the
extraordinary work being done each day by our dedicated staff,
physicians and volunteers,” said Dolan Dalpoas, president and CEO of
ALMH. “We are grateful for the recognition and for the support of
our community. And we will continue our dedication to excellence as
we improve the health of the people and communities we serve.”
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.”
