Washington County Hospital and Clinics (WCHC) announced it 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 at 75th percentile or above among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes, and Patient Perspective.

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 last time WCHC received this award was in 2023.
