Floyd Valley Healthcare Earns Top 100 Critical Access Hospital Award

Floyd Valley Healthcare today announced it has been recognized as a 2024 Top 100 Critical Access Hospital by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Chartis’ annual Top 100 award program recognizes outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®.

“I was pleased to learn that FVH has again been selected as a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital for 2024,” states Dustin Wright, CEO.  “The performance of our organization in regards to quality, patient experience, financial performance and market share is something we can all be proud of as a community. Moreover, the dedication of our 400+ team members is nothing short of amazing and I am so happy for each of them to be recognized as a top performer not only in Iowa but across our country. This is truly a special recognition.”

“During an era of profound uncertainty for rural healthcare, the Top 100 rural hospitals continue to provide a unique lens through which we can identify innovation and inspiration for how to deliver high quality care to increasingly vulnerable populations,” said Michael Topchik, National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “We’re delighted to be able to recognize all this year’s Top 100 but especially the more than 40 first-time recipients across both categories. It’s wonderful to see so many new facilities join the ranks of our Top 100 alumni.”

Now in its 14th year, the INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Featuring a methodology utilizing publicly available data, the INDEX is leveraged 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.
