Save the date! CEO Roundtable + CFO/CIO Roundtable — November 18-19, 2015 — Chicago. Please call 800-417-2035 to register. 27 Becker's Hospital Review is pleased to name the fol- lowing hospitals to the 2015 edition of its list of "100 Great Community Hospitals." For the purposes of this list, Becker's defines commu- nity hospital as a hospital with fewer than 550 beds and that have minimal teaching programs. Some are locat- ed in suburban areas near major cities, while others are found in rural towns that serve as the only hospitals in their communities. Whether independent or part of a larger health system, the hospitals on this list have con- tinually worked to provide high-quality care. The Becker's editorial team selected community hos- pitals based on rankings and awards from such orga- nizations as iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics, Healthgrades and CareChex. Note: This list is not an endorsement of included hos- pitals or associated healthcare providers, and organi- zations cannot pay for inclusion on this list.
