ACMH Begins National Search for CEO

Audubon County Memorial Hospital and Clinics (ACMH), announced that a national search is underway for an experienced leader to serve as its next Chief Executive Officer. This position will become open due to the planned retirement of Suzanne Cooner, the current CEO, in July 2025. Cooner has served as CEO of ACMH since January 2017.

The next CEO will have an excellent track record of building strong community relationships, combined with a performance-driven approach to operational and financial stewardship. They must be naturally oriented to and personally invested in building trusting, collaborative relationships with staff, providers and in the community. The preferred candidate will possess a master’s degree in business, healthcare, or a related field.  Prior experience as a CEO in a critical access hospital is preferred.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is fully responsible for the overall planning and directing of the activities in support of the mission, long-range plan and strategic vision of ACMH, as well as the health needs of its patients and the communities it serves.

The Board of Trustees is determined to find an executive that can capitalize on past successes and continue to pursue strategic growth opportunities while further strengthening existing services. This board will make an announcement to the community once the selection process is complete.
