The list honors CEOs for their dedication to improving community health. Becker’s Healthcare is thrilled to feature the accomplishments of these leaders, who are critical to the successes of their respective organizations.
The Becker’s Hospital Review editorial team accepted nominations and curated the list to highlight the great work of CEOs from community hospitals across the nation.
Under Faus’ leadership, Ivinson Memorial Hospital has been awarded a Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety Grade “A” rating in the Fall of 2022 and again in the Spring of 2023.
