Logan, West Virginia (March 25, 2026) – Logan Regional Medical Center (LRMC or Logan Regional) has been named a recipient of ScionHealth’s Platinum Award, the highest designation for clinical excellence within the company’s National Quality Strategy (NQS). This recognition places Logan Regional among a select group of ScionHealth hospitals that achieved exceptional performance in 2025 – a noteworthy distinction given the strong quality focus across the entire system.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized as a quality leader across ScionHealth,” said Justin Turner, CEO of Logan Regional. “This award is a testament to the expertise, commitment, and heart our staff brings to work every single day.

A Culture of Excellence

The ScionHealth National Quality Strategy promotes best practices and measures the success of its hospitals’ quality performance over a 12-month period. The rigorous program enables and empowers hospitals to continuously improve patient care, safety, and satisfaction with an underlying goal of zero patient harm. The company’s Platinum Award recipients for the 2025 year outperformed all other ScionHealth hospitals while achieving exceptional quality performance.

“ScionHealth congratulates the team at Logan Regional Medical Center for earning the 2025 Platinum Award,” said Russell Pigg, President, Community Hospital Division of ScionHealth. “This award celebrates a team committed to building a culture where quality care and patient safety are paramount. This ScionHealth accolade adds to the growing list of recognitions for Logan Regional, including recent honors from such organizations as Becker's Hospital Review, Leapfrog, and Newsweek."

NQS and the Six Domains of Quality

The NQS framework evaluates hospitals across six essential domains of healthcare quality established by the Institute of Medicine. Logan Regional Medical Center’s Platinum status was achieved through high marks in the following areas:

• Safe: Prioritizing harm reduction by minimizing infections (CLABSI, CAUTI, C. diff) and preventing falls through advanced safety training and reporting.
• Effective: Delivering evidence-based care, specifically through excellence in sepsis prevention, appropriate blood utilization, and opioid stewardship.
• Patient-Centered: Ensuring physical comfort and emotional well-being by involving families in care plans and achieving high HCAHPS patient survey scores.
• Timely: Reducing harmful delays by optimizing Emergency Department throughput and improving access to primary care.
• Efficient: Reducing waste and maximizing resources through strong teamwork, antibiotic stewardship, and improved length-of-stay metrics.
• Equitable: Closing the gap in healthcare disparities to ensure every patient has the opportunity to achieve their highest health potential.

“The gains our hospitals have made across all six criteria since the program’s inception are validating,” said Dr. Dean French, Chief Medical Officer at ScionHealth. “Through the ScionHealth National Quality Strategy, we challenged our facilities to raise the bar in terms of patient outcomes and experiences and the safety and efficiency in which they are delivered. Only 4% of our hospitals met our highest standards in year one – nearly 20% achieved top marks in 2025, our third year of the program. Our quality initiative is producing the desired results of driving clinical and cultural best practices at Logan Regional and across all of our hospitals.”
