At Kittson Healthcare, delivering exceptional care isn’t just a goal—it’s a daily commitment. That’s why we’re honored to announce that Kittson Healthcare has been named a 2025 Top 20 Critical Access Hospital for Best Practices in Patient Satisfaction by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA).
This national recognition places Kittson Healthcare among the very best in the country when it comes to patient experience. Rankings are determined by the Chartis Center for Rural Health using their Rural Hospital Performance INDEX™, which evaluates hospitals on eight performance areas such as quality, outcomes, financial strength, and—most importantly—how patients feel about their care.
“Being recognized as one of the Top 20 hospitals in the nation for patient satisfaction is a true reflection of the compassionate, personalized care our team provides every day,” said Andrea Swenson, CEO of Kittson Healthcare. “As a small rural facility, we’re deeply rooted in this community—and this recognition affirms that the care we deliver is not only high quality, but deeply valued by the people we serve.”
Kittson Healthcare will be formally recognized during the NRHA’s Critical Access Hospital Conference taking place September 24–26, 2025, in Kansas City, Missouri, with an awards ceremony and photo opportunity scheduled for the final day.
We’re proud to serve our neighbors and grateful for the trust our patients place in us every day. This award is not only a recognition of our staff’s hard work—it’s a celebration of the strong relationships we’ve built with our community.
