New CEO at Hospital

On the heels of its first anniversary in a new facility, Fleming County Hospital will have new leadership.

The Board of Trustees elected Davie Lloyd as the hospital’s next Chief Executive Officer. She was selected from three finalist candidates that all met Hospital Board criteria, presented by Quorum Health Resources, FCH’s management company. She will begin work on Aug. 10 and succeeds Ron Vigus who has served as interim CEO since early May. Vigus replaced David Sirk, who had served in the position for nearly a year. Sirk was CEO when the new facility opened in August 2008.

Lloyd is the fifth CEO since planning for a new hospital began during the administration of Mark Armstrong. He was followed by Carol Dozier, who oversaw much of the construction, then Sirk, Vigus and now Lloyd.

“We are very happy to have Davie join us as we begin a new chapter at our hospital,” said Louie Flanery, Chairman of the Board. “She has the right leadership experience for our hospital and a strong sense of community.”

Lloyd has seven years of senior healthcare leadership experience and grew up in a small community in Montana. At her last hospital, she achieved several improvements in the hospital including improving patient flow in the emergency department, implemented a hospital wide information technology system and improved accuracy in the billing process.

Fleming County was attractive to her and her 9 year old daughter due to its family focus, great schools and friendly community.
