Pawnee Valley Community Hospital Earns 2025 Performance Leadership Award in Quality
Pawnee Valley Community Hospital (PVCH) is proud to announce that it has once again earned the Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Quality from The Chartis Center for Rural Health. This marks the fifth consecutive year that PVCH has been recognized among the top quartile of rural hospitals nationwide.
“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition for the fifth year in a row,” said Melanie Urban, Administrator at PVCH. “This award reflects the dedication of our incredible team, who dedicate themselves every day to ensure our patients receive consistent, high-quality healthcare close to home. Their commitment to excellence is what makes this achievement possible.”
The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework used to measure rural hospital performance. INDEX benchmarks are relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems, hospital Associations, and state offices of rural health to evaluate quality, operations, and financial outcomes.
“The Performance Leadership Awards highlight the commitment, diligence, and innovation with which America’s rural hospitals deliver care to their communities,” said Troy Brown, Network Consultant, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “It is a privilege to recognize the outstanding efforts of this year’s award winners and celebrate their achievements as part of National Rural Health Day.”
PVCH is a 25-bed facility offering a wide range of services, including 24/7 emergency care, surgery, advanced imaging and laboratory testing, rehabilitation, and a sleep and diagnostic center. The hospital also provides acute, skilled, and specialized nursing, wound care, and more. Through Pawnee Valley Community Hospital Family Medicine, patients have access to comprehensive primary care services for all ages, as well as specialized women’s health services.
This fifth consecutive award underscores PVCH’s unwavering commitment to providing outstanding healthcare services and improving the health of the communities it serves.
