​Organization Name
Midwest Medical Center


Tell us a little about yourself?
I currently serve as the Chief Financial Officer and have been with Midwest Medical Center since May, 2014 when I was first hired as the Controller. I have served in the role of CFO and Director of Finance for small critical access hospitals in the Southwest Wisconsin area since 2008. I further earned my fellowship designation from the HFMA in November, 2016. 


What are 3 words to describe your company?
Hospital, Clinic, & Senior Care


What does a typical day look like for you?
Being in a small rural hospital, it is not unusual to be pulled into a multitude of different directions throughout the day and providing decision support in various meetings. However, diving deep into spreadsheets is what I enjoy the most about my daily routine. I take great pride in being the Financial Gatekeeper for Midwest Medical Center. At the end of my day currently, I enjoy taking a run with my Cross Country kids as I coach for the Benton, Southwestern, Cuba City Team.


What is on your wish list for the next 10 years?
To continue growth in our service area, providing valuable quality services to our community and to remain a strong independent organization.


If you were stuck on an island what three things would you bring?
My Spouse, Food, and Water.


Any random facts you could share with us?
I have been a volunteer EMT for over 10 years. I also enjoy volunteer coaching for the local high school cross country and track teams.


You’re happiest when?
I am out on a run, even in 30 below zero weather or pouring down rain.


Why did you join HFMA Wisconsin? 
I joined HFMA Wisconsin in 2008 because I was very interested in networking with other great healthcare finance professionals in the industry and expanding my knowledge with Healthcare Finance.

​2017 WI Chapter HFMA Fall Conference in Madison:
The HFMA WI Chapter Fall Conference was a resounding success.  From a beautiful location right on the square with the Capitol as a backdrop, there were various great topics and speakers throughout.  The conference opened with a nice networking event at Brocach’s Irish Pub Wednesday night where conference attendees could network with other attendees as well as members that took advantage of the event which was open to all HFMA members.  Speaking events on Thursday were led off by keynote speaker Billy Riggs who packed in a lot of information into a very entertaining exhibition on what it takes to be a true leader.  Four time slots of breakout sessions followed which were broken up by an easy-paced lunch in the Top of the Park ballroom which overlooks the Capitol and downtown skyline from the eighth floor of the elegant Premier Park Hotel.  Excellent content was bursting at the seams throughout all of the breakout sessions, and an hour-long tour of the Epic campus in Verona helped wrap up the education portion of the day.  Cocktail hour was another great time for fellowship followed by dinner and the evening entertainment, Billy Riggs, who this time focused on how we can keep a PMA (Positively Magical Attitude).  It was an event that would have made even the most serious members slop their drippers.
 
Friday morning’s events got started right with a very successful coffee hour for the Mentor/Mentee program followed immediately by a delicious buffet style breakfast.  Two very interesting general sessions on Anti-Kickback statutes and Succession Planning, respectively, helped close out the conference…everything a healthcare financial professional needs to be successful; well, maybe not everything, but great and informative topics nonetheless.  Visa Gift Card door prizes and a smiling chapter president sent attendees on their way in style.  Thanks to all for attending and making the conference one of the best yet, and thanks to all of our sponsors who make events like the Fall Conference possible.
