Top Rural and Community Hospitals

The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) recently named the 20 highest-ranked prospective payment system (PPS) hospitals in the country based on an evaluation by the Center for Rural Health using Health Analyticsā€™ Hospital Strength Index. These rural and community hospitals will be recognized in an awards ceremony during NRHAā€™s Rural Hospital Innovation Summit May 21 in San Diego.

The determining factors for the top 20 rural and community hospitals were based on eightĀ indices: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patientĀ perspective, cost, charge, and financial efficiency.

SDAHO would like to recognize the South Dakota Hospitals that made the list:

  • Avera Sacred Heart Hospital Yankton, S.D.
  • Avera St. Lukeā€™s Hospital Aberdeen, S.D.ā€‹
  • Avera St. Maryā€™s Hospital Pierre, S.D.
  • Brookings Health System Brookings, S.D.
  • Prairie Lakes Healthcare System Watertown, S.D.

To view the entireĀ top 20 rural and community hospital list and other information about the TopĀ 20 Rural Community Hospital awardā€‹, view the NRHA websiteā€‹.
