NGH is proud to announce that, once again, we have been recognized by Chartis as a Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital for 2025! – one of only six in the state of Texas!
This is the second year in a row NGH has received this recognition, and in the fall of 2023, NGH was recognized with a 2023 Performance Leadership Award for Excellence in two categories: Quality and Patient Perspective. This award honored top quartile performance (i.e. 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.
“The Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals award program elevates the very best performers and helps create a roadmap for those seeking to improve financial and operational performance while continuing to care for the communities they serve,” said Michael Topchik, Executive Director, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “This is our 10th year recognizing the Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals and we’re thrilled to be able to celebrate this milestone with this year’s winners.”
The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging publicly available data, the INDEX is utilized nationwide by rural hospitals, health systems with rural affiliates, hospital associations, and state offices of rural health to measure and monitor performance across a variety of areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
