From the Hills, Through the Valleys and Back

Doing more with less has long been an imperative for rural community hospitals. COVID-19 has compounded that challenge, impacting costs, payer mix and staffing shortages. Amanda Stevens is on the front-lines of finding solutions to those challenges, as chief strategy officer and foundation executive for Hill County Memorial Hospital in Fredericksburg, Texas. In this episode of BVK’s Problem Lab, Mike Eaton, Senior VP at BVK and author of Fractured, interviews Amanda about her strategy road map for guiding a high-performing rural hospital through difficult times.

BVK has invested time into considering how health systems can use brand to best position themselves for success after a crisis and can help facilitate a provocative and productive conversation around your leadership table. To learn more, download our new e-book, Fractured, or view our recorded webinar.
