CHI Health Missouri Valley has been awarded a spot on the 2025 Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Chartis’ annual Top 100 award program honors outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX.
“This is an amazing honor,” CHI Health Missouri Valley President David Jones said. “We have the best team here, who are all passionate about their jobs, and it is because of them and their dedication to our patients that helped us garner this esteemed award. I would like to thank our work family for everything they do on a daily basis, 365 days a year, to keep our communities healthy and happy. This award shows just how amazing they truly are.”
Chartis Center for Rural Health Executive Director Michael Topchik said he understands Jones’ sentiment.
“The Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals award program elevates the very best performers and helps create a roadmap for those seeking to improve financial and operational performance while continuing to care for the communities they serve,” Topchik said. “This is our 15th year recognizing the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals and we’re thrilled to be able to celebrate this milestone with this year’s winners.”
The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging publicly available data, the INDEX is utilized nationwide by rural hospitals, health systems with rural affiliates, hospital associations, and state offices of rural health to measure and monitor performance across a variety of areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
