Brevard, N.C. - Transylvania Regional Hospital (TRH) has launched a state-of-the art Electronic Health Record (EHR) system that will provide expanded records of each patient's care. The launch is part of a larger Mission Health initiative to improve care across the region.

Brevard, N.C. - Transylvania Regional Hospital was recently named one of the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in the United States.

"Transylvania Regional Hospital is proud of the efforts of our physicians and staff who have contributed to our hospital achieving this national recognition," said Bob Bednarek, president and CEO of Transylvania Regional Hospital. "Our entire healthcare team is dedicated to providing outstanding care to patients in this community when they need us."

The HealthStrong Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals, including Transylvania Regional Hospital, scored best among critical access hospitals on the iVantage Health Analytics' Hospital Strength Index. The 2013 Top 100 CAH announcement is the second release of this important designation.

For the second consecutive year, Mission Health was named today as one of the nation’s Top 15 Health Systems by Truven Health Analytics, formerly the healthcare business of Thomson Reuters.
