LCMH Primary Care Clinic is recognized as one of the Top 25 provider based Rural Health Clinics in the Nation and the top 5 provider based clinics in the Midwest, according to the 2022 Lilypad Awards, the first and only ranking program for our nation’s 4,800+ Rural Health Clinics. The Lilypad Awards recognize the Rural Health Clinics that outperform their rural primary care practice peers in terms of efficiency and operational excellence.
 
Gene Allen, Executive Director of Operations shared, “It is very exciting to receive the Lilypad Award for the second straight year. I am so proud of our staff for the service they provide to our community and surrounding counties. The compassion, hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. The last two years have been very difficult for our community, country, and healthcare workers. This award is a testament to our dedicated staff. Thankful to work with a team that is willing to do what is necessary to provide the best possible care for our community.”

Utilizing data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid program to calculate rural-relevant metrics across five domains, the Lilypad Awards provide a comprehensive and objective assessment of rural health clinic performance. The Lilypad Awards evaluate both provider-based (hospital-owned) or independent practices to produce a comprehensive ranking system for every Rural Health Clinic in the nation. The Top Five organizations in each of five geographic regions have earned the 2022 Lilypad Award Top Clinic recognition.
