Franciscan Health Crawfordsville Recognized As A 2022 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital

Franciscan Health Crawfordsville announced on Monday that it has been recognized as a 2022 Top 100 Rural & Community 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™.

“Rural communities are the ones that suffer when it comes to accessible healthcare,” said Terry Klein, COO and vice president of Franciscan Health Crawfordsville. “We are proud to be recognized for our dedication to providing top-of-the-line medical resources to Montgomery county and will continue serving this rural population with the care it deserves.”

“Despite unprecedented adversity, rural providers continue to display resiliency and a steadfast commitment to their communities,” said Michael Topchik, national leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “Honoring the Top 100 is one of the highpoints of our year. We are delighted to recognize the exceptional performance and innovation of this year’s recipients, particularly in light of the extraordinary challenges facing America’s rural health safety net.”

Over the course of the last 12 years, 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 footprints, 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.
