Peterson Health makes Rural Health’s top 20

Peterson Health has been named one of the top 20 rural and community hospitals in the nation, according to the National Rural Health Association.

The designation recognizes high-performing prospective payment system hospitals based on an evaluation by the Chartis Center for Rural Health.

Rankings are determined using the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX, which assesses hospitals on eight measures: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge and finance.
