🌟 We’re 5-Star Rated! 🌟
We’re excited to announce that Pana Community Hospital has received a 5-Star Rating from the National Rural Rating System (NRRS) — a top honor recognizing exceptional quality and patient experience in rural healthcare across the country.

“This recognition is more than just a rating — it's a reflection of the trust our patients place in us every day,” said Trina Casner, CEO of Pana Community Hospital “We're incredibly proud of our team for the care, skill, and heart they bring to every patient interaction. This 5-star designation affirms what we already know — that our community receives outstanding care, close to home.”

The NRRS highlights rural and critical access hospitals that deliver outstanding care using rigorous standards, including patient satisfaction and clinical quality measures.

For more than a century, PCH has remained committed to serving our community with compassion, innovation, and integrity — and this achievement reflects that dedication. 💙
