Oaklawn Recognized for Performance Leadership by The Chartis Center for Rural Health

As part of National Rural Health Day, Oaklawn today announced it has been recognized with a 2023 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Outcomes. Compiled by the Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards honor top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.

“We are honored to accept this award for excellence in outcomes. I want to emphasize that this achievement is not the result of one person’s efforts, but a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire healthcare team,” said Gregg Beeg, President & CEO, Oaklawn. “Our commitment to deliver the highest quality of care and our unwavering focus on patient well-being have allowed us to achieve these exceptional outcomes. This award is a recognition of our collective commitment to making a difference in the lives of our patients, and it only inspires us to continue providing excellent healthcare to the communities we serve.”

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 relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations and state offices of rural health around the country to measure and monitor performance across several areas impacting hospital operations and finance.

“Wherever we go in rural America, we witness first-hand the commitment, determination, and compassion with which rural hospitals serve their communities. Rural healthcare truly is mission-driven,” said Michael Topchik, National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “This National Rural Health Day, let us recognize the efforts of this year’s Performance Leadership Award winners and all those driven to deliver high quality care throughout rural communities.”
