Labette Health has been named among the 2025 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Chartis’ annual Top 100 award program honors outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX. This is the third consecutive Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals award for Labette Health.
“We are honored to be named among the top 100 rural hospitals in the United States,” said Kathi McKinney, VP/chief nursing officer & director of risk management. “We owe this honor to our dedicated healthcare team. They give so much of themselves every day to meet the needs of their patients and communities while providing high-quality and safe care right here in Southeast Kansas.”
The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging publicly available data, the INDEX is utilized 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.
