Monument Health Spearfish Hospital listed in top rural hospitals

Spearfish, S.D. (March 28, 2024) – Monument Health Spearfish Hospital was recently named one of the top 20 rural and community hospitals in the country.

The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) has announced the 20 highest-ranked prospective payment system hospitals in the country based on an evaluation by the Chartis Center for Rural Health. The hospitals are identified using the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX, the most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural PPS hospital performance.

The determining factors for the top 20 rural and community hospitals are based on eight indices: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge, and finance.

“Monument Health Spearfish Hospital is proud of the continued efforts of our physicians and caregivers who have contributed to our hospital achieving this designation,” says Suzanne Campbell, RN, Director of Nursing, Spearfish Market. “Our recognition as a top health care provider means our community can count on us to deliver the services they need, close to home, now and in the future.”
