For six out of the past seven years, Margaret Mary Health has been named one of the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals in the United States by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. The ranking was based on iVantage Health Analytics’ Hospital Strength INDEX®, the industry’s most comprehensive assessment of rural provider performance. MMH was the only hospital in both Indiana and Ohio to receive this designation.

The INDEX measures hospitals across eight pillars of hospital strength, including inpatient share ranking, outpatient share ranking, cost, charge, quality, outcomes, patient perspective and financial stability. The list of the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals and more information about the study can be found at iVantageINDEX.com.

“From improving the patient experience to providing the best clinical outcomes, everything we do at Margaret Mary Health centers around our patients,” said MMH President Tim Putnam. “This award recognizes all aspects of the important work we do and is a testament to the compassionate care put forth by our quality providers, nurses and staff.”
