LANSING, MI – Sparrow Carson, Eaton and Ionia hospitals have been recognized by a national organization for outstanding patient care, performance and quality, reflecting our leading-edge medicine and highly skilled physicians and caregivers.
Sparrow Carson received the 2023 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Quality and Patient Perspective from The Chartis Center of Rural Health.
“Sparrow Carson provides high quality care to the many surrounding communities it serves,” said Mark Brisboe, president, Sparrow Carson and Clinton hospitals. “Ensuring our patients are highly cared for, understand their treatment process, and receive care as though they are our family is important. Most often people come to us during their most difficult and uncomfortable times. It is our duty to provide them the highest quality of care so they can return to enjoying their families and busy lives.”
Sparrow Eaton and Ionia received the 2023 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Outcomes.

I am pleased to see our caregivers recognized for the impact they are making in our communities.”
The Performance Leadership Awards are based on results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. INDEX data is relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations and state offices of rural health around the country to measure and monitor performance across several areas.
