Meeker, Colorado November 16, 2023 – As part of National Rural Health Day, Pioneers Medical Center today announced it has been recognized with a 2023 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in 2023 Quality, Outcomes and Patient Perspective Compiled by the Chartis Center for Rural Health. The Performance Leadership Awards honor top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.
“We are delighted to have been acknowledged by The Chartis Center for Rural Health,” stated Liz Sellers, CEO of Pioneers Medical Center. “At Pioneers Medical Center, we are committed to delivering personalized, high-quality care to all our patients.
