HCHC Achieves CIHQ Critical Access Hospital Accreditation

Henry County Health Center (HCHC) has been surveyed by the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) and has successfully met the requirements for Critical Access Hospital Accreditation by demonstrating compliance with CIHQ Standards and the Conditions of Participation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

HCHC underwent a rigorous unannounced onsite assessment in February. The CIHQ team toured the hospital, reviewed medical records, observed care practices, and interviewed staff and patients.

Christin Pritchard, Vice President of Quality at Great River Health, said, “Our commitment to providing patients with exceptional, safety-focused care extends from Henry County Health Center throughout our entire health system. Earning accreditation from CIHQ is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. We take great pride in this achievement and its significance for our patients."

This recognition reflects the hospital’s continuous commitment to safety and quality patient care. For more information, please visit the Critical Access Hospitals website.
