Madison Regional Health System has been recognized among 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®.
The INDEX™ assesses healthcare facilities on eight pillars of performance including quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge, financial efficiency, and market share.
“Being ranked in the top 7% of all Critical Access Hospitals in the nation is a reflection of our remarkable employees and their commitment to excellence,” said Teresa Mallett, MRHS CEO. “The hard work, skills, and dedication exemplified by our staff, along with the continuous support of our community is what allows us to carry out our mission. It is truly our privilege to serve our community through patient-centered care while focusing on quality improvement, financial and strategic planning, and patient safety.”
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.
