LA GRANDE – Grande Ronde Hospital (GRH) was recently named one of the iVantage Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in the nation.

The Hospital scored in the top 100 out of a total of 1,300 Critical Access Hospitals in the United States, based on the iVantage Hospital Strength INDEX™, which is the industry's most comprehensive rating of U.S. acute care hospitals.

"Rural healthcare deserves the same performance analysis as all provider performance. It plays a vital role for communities across America, serving nearly 80 million people. The services provided in rural America are similar to those needed in any major metropolitan area, yet the volumes and economic resources provide little economies of scale. These top 100 Critical Access Hospitals exhibit a focused concern for their community benefits and needs, regardless of scale, reimbursement and people's ability to pay," said Michael Topchik, senior vice president of iVantage Health Analytics.
