Publication names 50 rural hospital CEOs to watch

While rural hospitals often make the news for closures or cutbacks, plenty of rural hospitals are providing excellent service. Not to let those folks go unnoticed, Becker's Hospital Review announced its list of 50 rural hospital CEOs to know. The selected presidents and CEOs "have shown commitment to providing high-quality, accessible care to their patient populations and have approached the challenge of rural healthcare with great aplomb," Heather Punke writes for the publication.

For this list, 'rural' was defined as being located outside a major metropolitan area or healthcare hub," Punke writes. "Leaders were selected based on a number of factors, including awards received; local, regional and national leadership positions held and their organization's recent performance. Nominations were also considered." To see the full list of presidents and CEOs click here.
