For the second year in a row, CROH was named one of the Best Places to Work in Mississippi through an employee survey and was honored by The Mississippi Business Journal. In a physician satisfaction survey, CROH ranked number one not only within Health Management Associates group of hospitals, but also number one in all of the clients the survey company conducted surveys. The hospital has also been honored for its commitment to serving their patients with quality care. The Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation that promotes high performance health systems, supported an independent research study conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institutes, which identified CROH as one of the "Top 100 Most Improved Hospitals in the Nation." In addition, the hospital was selected as one of only four hospitals to be featured in a case study. The other hospitals chosen are Beth Israel Medical Center in New York; Legacy Health Systems in Portland, OR and St. Mary's Health System in Athens, GA.

Rankin is one of the three counties that comprise the majority of the Metro Jackson population of over 750,000 and enjoy some of the highest per capital income and population growth rates in the nation. Low taxes, excellent schools, and reasonable real estate prices/selection make Rankin a wise choice.
