PENDER – Pender Community Hospital announced it has been recognized as a 2023 Top 100 Critical Access 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™.

“I’m very proud of our team’s continuous hard work and dedication,” Laura Gamble, CEO for Pender Community Hospital. “This recognition is something we don’t take lightly; it’s a true testament of the strong commitment of the entire team who works at Pender Community Hospital and Medical Clinics, and also a reflection of our supportive community,” she continued. “We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality care and serving as a resource our community knows they can trust. We’re very honored to have been recognized 4 times and to be among this elite group of healthcare providers.”

“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, the Chartis Center for Rural Health. “The list of award winners in each category is as geographically diverse as we’ve seen in some time, which is wonderful to see. We’re thrilled to be able to honor the outstanding efforts of these top performing rural hospitals.”

Now in its 13th year, the INDEX has established itself as the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. 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.
