Castleview Hospital Named as a Top 20 Rural & Community Hospital

April 4, 2024 (Price, UT) - Castleview Hospital was recently named one of the top 20 rural and community hospitals in the country.

The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) has announced the 20 highest-ranked prospective payment system hospitals in the country based on an evaluation by the Chartis Center for Rural Health. The hospitals are identified using the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX, the most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural PPS hospital performance. These hospitals will be recognized May 9 during NRHA’s Annual Rural Health Conference in New Orleans.

The determining factors for the top 20 rural and community hospitals are based on eight indices: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge, and finance.

“Being named a top 20 rural and community hospital is a direct result of the efforts and commitment our entire team delivers in serving our neighbors, friends and community,” says Greg Cook, chief executive officer at Castleview Hospital. “I’m proud to work with a team that continues to drive improvements in quality care and patient safety, and are directly advancing our mission of making communities healthier.”
