Ray County Hospital and Healthcare Earns 2025 Performance Leadership Award for Quality

In celebration of National Rural Health Day, we’re honored to share some exciting news with our community: Ray County Hospital and Healthcare has earned a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Quality from The Chartis Center for Rural Health!

This recognition celebrates our commitment to delivering exceptional care right here close to home. The Performance Leadership Awards program recognizes rural hospitals that perform in the top 25% nationwide, placing us at the 75th percentile or above in Quality among rural hospitals across the country.

What does this mean for you? When you choose Ray Healthcare, you’re choosing a facility that meets and exceeds national standards for quality care. You don’t have to travel to larger cities to receive outstanding healthcare. World-class care is available right here in Ray County.

This achievement reflects the dedication of our entire team, from our physicians and nurses to our support staff. Every day, they show up ready to serve our friends, families, and neighbors with the compassionate, expert care our community deserves.

The award is based on results from the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework that rural hospitals, health systems, and state offices of rural health rely on to measure performance across multiple areas impacting hospital operations and finance.

“The areas of quality, outcomes, and patient perspective are cornerstones of healthcare delivery across rural America, and this year’s Performance Leadership Award recipients are establishing a standard of excellence for their rural peers to follow,” said Michael Topchik, Executive Director of The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “We are delighted to shine a spotlight on such strong performance and honor the achievement of these hospitals on National Rural Health Day.”

Thank you for trusting us with your health. This recognition belongs to our entire community, and we’re proud to be your local healthcare partner.
