Wyoming provider to receive AHA Rural Hospital Leadership Award

During its Rural Health Care Leadership Conference Feb. 2-5 in Phoenix, the AHA will present its 2019 Rural Hospital Leadership Award to Cody (Wyo.) Regional Health. The award recognizes small or rural hospital leaders who guide their hospital and community through transformational change on the road to health care reform. CRH partnered with Billings Clinic to build a high-quality cardiology center to improve heart health in its community, where heart disease is the second highest cause of death. AHA also will honor award finalists Hill Country Memorial in Fredericksburg, Texas, and Coffey Health System in Burlington, Kan.
