Two Parkview hospitals earn leadership award

Two Parkview hospitals, Parkview Huntington Hospital and Parkview Wabash Hospital, have each been recognized by The Chartis Center for Rural Health and the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) with a Performance Leadership Award in the Patient Perspective category for 2021.

The Performance Leadership Awards utilize the results of the Rural Hospital Performance INDEX, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. INDEX data 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.

“We’re so pleased to receive this recognition,” said Doug Selig, president of Parkview Huntington Hospital. “Despite the enormous challenges our team has dealt with this past year – and the year before – in adjusting to successive waves of COVID-19, they have continued to stay focused on delivering the high-quality care that our patients expect and appreciate.”

This is the second time Parkview Huntington has garnered a Performance Leadership Award in the Patient Perspective category. The first was for 2019.

“This is a wonderful honor,” said Marilyn Custer-Mitchell, president of Parkview Wabash Hospital. “Last year was a difficult one, and it is such a boost for our frontline co-workers to receive this validation of all they’ve done to maintain excellent patient care in the face of extremely high volumes and changing conditions.”

This is the first time Parkview Wabash has received the award in this category.

“We are proud to recognize rural hospitals’ steadfast commitment to serving their communities and delivering high-quality care,” said Michael Topchik, national leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “In the face of tremendous challenges, these top-quartile performers continue to exemplify the power of rural and create a blueprint for excellence in quality, outcomes and patient perspectives.”

Parkview Huntington Hospital is located at 2001 Stults Road in Huntington. Parkview Wabash Hospital is located at 12 John Kissinger Drive in Wabash.
