Schneck Medical Center has been recognized as a 2023 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital.

Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, this annual recognition program honors outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX, according to a news release from Schneck.

This is Schneck’s fifth consecutive year to be named to the list, and the Seymour hospital is one of only five Indiana hospitals to be honored.

“Schneck Medical Center is proud to be named a Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital once again,” said Dr. Eric Fish, president and CEO of Schneck. “The Schneck team members are responsible for this award. It is a testament to their dedication to provide the highest quality of care to our communities and to drive performance to the next level.”

Now in its 13th year, the INDEX has established itself as the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance, according to the news release. Leveraging publicly available data, the INDEX is trusted by rural hospitals, health systems with rural affiliates, hospital associations and state offices of rural health across the country to measure and monitor performance across a variety of areas impacting hospital operations and finance.

“Across the nation, top 100 rural providers continue to serve as a source of inspiration for hospital leadership teams and staff working diligently every day to improve the delivery of care within their local communities,” said Michael Topchik, national leader of The Chartis Center for Rural Health.
