These caring individuals continue to demonstrate their passion for making this an outstanding place to receive medical care. It has become apparent that the staff at Sabetha Community Hospital will not settle for mediocrity. I am honored to work with such talented and dedicated people that continue to go the extra mile while caring for anyone needing healthcare. Awards such as this serve as affirmation that our team has overcome many of the challenges that we have faced. It has also been apparent that our staff is not satisfied and will always look for ways to improve experiences, and outcomes, for the citizens of Northeast Kansas, said Dr. James Longabaugh, CEO.
“Across the nation, top 100 rural providers continue to serve as a source of inspiration for hospital leadership teams and staff working diligently every day to improve the delivery of care within their local communities,” said Michael Topchik, National Leader, the Chartis Center for Rural Health. “The list of award winners in each category is as geographically diverse as we’ve seen in some time, which is wonderful to see. We’re thrilled to be able to honor the outstanding efforts of these top performing rural hospitals.”
