OLIVIA, Minn. – Olivia Hospital & Clinic has been named among the 2025 Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals by the Chartis Center for Rural Health. The annual Top 100 award program honors outstanding performance among the nation’s rural hospitals based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX^®.

We’re proud to be recognized alongside other outstanding hospitals, and it motivates us to continue innovating and improving the quality of care we deliver.”
