CEO Doug Faus Named 207 Community Hospital CEOs to Know in 2025

Community hospital CEOs are tasked with delivering coordinated and affordable care to local patients. Top community hospital executives ensure that patients can access not only acute care but also primary care, rehabilitation, public health services and other resources.

The leaders featured on the Becker’s list shape workforce culture, plan for the future, broaden hospital offerings and sustain financial wellness for their community hospitals. 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. In 2024, Ivinson was named one of the Top 100 Rural and Community Hospitals by the Chartis Center for Rural Health and recognized as Best Larger Business by the Laramie Chamber Business Alliance. In 2025, Ivinson was recognized as one of 100 Great Community Hospitals by Becker’s Hospital Review. 

Faus has led Ivinson through two major transitions during his tenure as CEO. In 2019, Ivinson transitioned to a 501c(3) nonprofit hospital and successfully implemented a new electronic health record system. In the twelve years of Faus’ leadership, Ivinson has experienced tremendous growth with numerous renovations and expansions to the hospital facilities, most recently the expansion and renovation of the emergency department and the Women and Children’s Center. Additionally, Faus has supported the growth of several new service lines at Ivinson, including the launch of an orthopedic service line that opened in the fall of 2021.
