MCCH Clinical Laboratory Earns ASCP Leading Lab Designation — A first for Nebraska and a first in the nation for a Critical Access Hospital

We’re excited to share that the Morrill County Community Hospital-Clinical Laboratory has officially been recognized as an ASCP Leading Laboratory. This honor celebrates labs that deliver exceptional quality, strong leadership, a culture of safety, and a deep commitment to the patients and communities they serve.

What it means to be a Leading Lab:
• We put patients at the center of every decision.
• We uphold rigorous quality and safety standards in every test we perform.
• We foster a team culture built on learning, accountability, and service.
• We provide timely, reliable results that help providers make the best decisions for their patients.
• We use data, continuous improvement, and clear communication to strengthen the care we deliver to our community.

Today, we are proud to share that MCCH is the first Critical Access Hospital (CAH) laboratory in the State of Nebraska and the first CAH in the entire United States to earn this Leading Lab designation.

Most of all, this recognition reflects our purpose: to serve our patients and communities with integrity, compassion, and excellence. It shows that excellence in laboratory medicine isn’t measured by size or resources. It’s measured by the people who step in each day with compassion and purpose to support the patients counting on them.

This is our commitment, to keep leading, keep improving, and keep showing what a rural laboratory grounded in service, vision, and purpose can achieve for the patients behind every specimen we touch. We’re honored. We’re grateful. And we’re just getting started.
