Wabash General Hospital in Mt. Carmel has been awarded a prestigious 5-star rating by the National Rural Rating System (NRRS) and named to the National Rural Honor Roll. This recognition highlights the hospital’s commitment to excellence in rural healthcare, exceptional patient experiences, and high-quality medical services.
The NRRS evaluates hospitals based on rigorous criteria, including patient satisfaction, quality of care, and overall performance. Wabash General’s 5-star rating underscores its dedication to meeting the unique healthcare needs of its rural community despite the challenges faced by small healthcare facilities.
The 2025 National Rural Honor Roll recognizes rural hospitals that meet the highest standards for patient experience, with honorees announced each November. This annual recognition, supported by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA), showcases the vital role rural hospitals play in their communities.
Wabash General Hospital extends its gratitude to its dedicated healthcare professionals, whose unwavering commitment to patient care has made this achievement possible. The hospital remains dedicated to putting patients first, staying true to its motto: “People you know, helping people you love.”
The 5-Star Rating System ranks rural and critical access hospitals, similar to CMS Star Ratings, allowing them to showcase their success in providing high-quality care. While many small hospitals do not qualify for CMS rankings due to lower inpatient numbers, they are still held to the same high patient satisfaction standards. This program acknowledges the vital role rural hospitals play in delivering exceptional healthcare across the country.
The National Rural Honor Roll was established to recognize rural and critical access hospitals that consistently deliver outstanding care, setting Them apart as leaders in patient-centered healthcare within their communities.
