Schneck Recognized with 2025 Performance Leadership Award by The Chartis Center for Rural Health
Schneck Medical Center has earned a 2025 Performance Leadership Award for Excellence in Outcomes. Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards program recognizes top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes, and/or Patient Perspective.
“We are honored to receive the Performance Leadership Award for Excellence in Outcomes,” said Susan Zabor, MBA, MSN, BSN, FACHE, CSSBB, Vice President of Clinical and Provider Management and Chief Quality Officer at Schneck Medical Center. “This recognition reflects our team’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality care and improving health outcomes for the communities we serve. It’s a testament to the dedication and compassion of our staff, who work every day to make a meaningful difference in rural healthcare.”
The Performance Leadership Awards program is based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework for assessing how rural hospitals are performing. INDEX benchmarks are relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations, and state offices of rural health to measure performance across multiple areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
“The areas of quality, outcomes, and patient perspective are cornerstones of healthcare delivery across rural America, and this year’s Performance Leadership Award recipients are establishing a standard of excellence for their rural peers to follow,” said Michael Topchik, Executive Director, Chartis Center for Rural Health. “We are delighted to shine a spotlight on such strong performance and honor the achievement of these hospitals on National Rural Health Day.”
