Ascension St. Michael’s on list of ‘great community hospitals’

Ascension St. Michael's Hospital in Wisconsin is included among “100 great community hospitals in 2019” published by Becker’s Hospital Review.

The hospital was recently recognized as a Top 20 Rural Community Hospital by the National Rural Health Association, making it the only hospital in Wisconsin to achieve this recognition.

Ascension St. Michael’s has more than 200 primary care and specialty physicians and nurse practitioners treating patients in the Stevens Point community.

The Becker’s editorial team selected hospitals for inclusion based on several outside rankings and ratings organizations, including IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals, iVantage Health Analytics and The Chartis Center for Rural Health’s Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals, National Rural Health Association recognition, CareChex ratings, Leapfrog Group grades, Healthgrades awards, and CMS stars, among other considerations.
