If you Google 100 top rural and community hospitals in the USA, you will find Albert Lea along with other Minnesota cities of Faribault, Fergus Falls and Winona. You will not find Austin in this list. The hospitals that are named to this list are top performers in management risk, achieving higher quality, securing better outcomes, increasing better outcomes, increasing patient satisfaction and operating at a lower cost then their peers according to the report. We must save our hospital.
