Mena Regional Health System in Mena, Arkansas was recently named one of iVantage Health Analytics’ Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals in the United States.
“Mena Regional Health System is proud of the efforts of our physicians and staff who have contributed to our achieving this designation,” stated Jay Quebedeaux, MRHS CEO. “As the only rural hospital in Arkansas that made the Top 100 List, we will continue to work diligently to increase quality, patient outcomes, safety and satisfaction while achieving that value with reduced costs and charges. Without the support of our local community, these accomplishments would not have been achievable.”
