Afton, WY – Star Valley Health was recently named one of the top 20 critical access hospitals (CAHs) in the country. The top 20 CAHs, including Star Valley Health, scored best as determined by the Chartis Center for Rural Health. The rankings were recently announced by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). An awards ceremony will be held during NRHA’s Critical Access Hospital Conference in September in Kansas City, MO.
“We are honored to receive this recognition,” says Star Valley Health CEO Dan Ordyna. “I’m so grateful to our compassionate, skilled providers and staff and the trust our community places in our care. We are more committed than ever to do our best.”
The top 20 CAHs have achieved success in overall performance based on a composite rating from eight indices of strength: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge, and finance. This group was selected from the Chartis Center for Rural Health’s 2024 top 100 CAH list, which was released earlier this year.
