ORD, Neb. – VCHS was recognized in the top quartile of all rural acute care hospitals in the nation for “Excellence in Quality” by the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and The Chartis Center for Rural Health/iVantage Health Analytics.

“Our entire healthcare team is dedicated to providing top quality patient care, and we are pleased to be recognized for the accomplishment,” VCHS CEO Nancy Glaubke said.
