Wagoner Community Hospital Receives Performance Leadership Award for Quality

As part of the National Rural Health Day celebration,

Wagoner Community Hospital announced it has been recognized with 2022 Performance Leadership

Award for excellence in quality. Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance

Leadership Awards honor top quartile performance (e.g., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in

Quality, Outcomes and Patient Perspective.

 

"The mission of Wagoner Health is to provide quality healthcare with courtesy and

compassion. This Performance Leadership Award is evidence of our commitment and

ability to deliver high quality healthcare services for our patients. I am extremely proud of

our physicians and caregivers who make this possible,” stated Jimmy Leopard, CEO.

 

The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance

INDEX™, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. INDEX™

data is trusted and relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations and

state offices of rural health across the country to measure and monitor performance across several areas

impacting hospital operations and finance.

 

“Although the last two years have placed unprecedented pressure on the rural health safety net, the dedication

to serving the community that we’re so accustomed to seeing from rural hospitals across the country hasn’t

wavered,” says Michael Topchik, National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “Let us celebrate the

power of rural on National Rural Health Day and honor the facilities working tirelessly to provide access to high

quality healthcare services to their communities.”
