PRICE, UT (February 21, 2024) – Castleview Hospital announced it has been recognized as a 2024 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital by The Chartis Center for Rural Health for the fifth consecutive year.

We are proud to serve our neighbors, friends and family.”
“During an era of profound uncertainty for rural healthcare, the Top 100 rural hospitals continue to provide a unique lens through which we can identify innovation and inspiration for how to deliver high-quality care to increasingly vulnerable populations,” said Michael Topchik, National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “We’re delighted to be able to recognize all this year’s Top 100 but especially the more than 40 first-time recipients across both categories. It’s wonderful to see so many new facilities join the ranks of our Top 100 alumni.”
