SSM Health Monroe Hospital has been recognized with a 2022 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Outcomes and Patient Perspectives by the Chartis Center for Rural Health.

The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX™, the industry's most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance.

Jane Curran-Meuli, President of SSM Health Monroe Hospital and SSM Health Monroe Clinic Medical Group, noted, "With these awards centering around mortality, readmissions and patients' points of view on their condition, we are grateful for this recognition, especially considering our extensive focus on these measures. We are very proud of our team members who have work together every day to achieve this."

Committed to serving its local communities, SSM Health Monroe Hospital is a proud member of the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative. The Cooperative's emphasis on developing a collaborative network among both freestanding and system affiliated rural hospitals distinguishes it from alternative approaches.

SSM Health Monroe Hospital and SSM Health Monroe Clinic Medical Group also offers a rural family medicine residency and emergency medicine fellowship training programs to further support the growth of rural medicine in Wisconsin, and particularly the Monroe area.
