Saint Joseph Mount Sterling Recognized for Performance Leadership by The Chartis Center for Rural Health

MOUNT STERLING, Ky. (Jan. 30, 2024) – Saint Joseph Mount Sterling has 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 deeply honored to be acknowledged with the prestigious 2023 Performance Leadership Award for exceptional Outcomes at Saint Joseph Mount Sterling," said John Yanes, president, Saint Joseph Mount Sterling. "This accolade is a testament to the tireless dedication and exemplary efforts of our outstanding staff. Saint Joseph Mount Sterling remains steadfast in our commitment to providing the utmost quality care to our community. The recognition from the Chartis Center for Rural Health serves as a powerful affirmation of our relentless pursuit of excellence in health care.”

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 health care 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.”
