OZH LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO
We wish you a happy, Healthy Holiday Season
A
s we approach the hol- idays this year, I’m re- minded of the impor- tance of family. Over time,
family changes or may look different, but family is what grounds us and gives us our roots. We are focused on caring for your family at all stages of life at Ozarks Healthcare (OZH), and I think you will find this to be evident as you flip through this issue of Insight. Recently, we were fortunate to grow our own family of primary care pro- viders through the addition of Ozarks Healthcare Family Care (formerly Ozarks Family Care) in West Plains. We are thrilled to be adding to our ca- pacity to serve our community better with the skills of Dr. Jason Spurling, Dr. Scott Roush, Dr. John Washburn, and Dr. Shannon Marsden. Our health system’s impact on our family of caregivers across our orga- nization is even extending further into staff members’ own families – for instance, Dr. Caleb and John Pi- att, brothers and now coworkers, are now serving our community through their specialties of sports medicine

and orthopedics and emergency med- icine. Our staff in our rural locations in surrounding counties of our ser- vice area are making waves in the healthcare field, extending the OZH family across the Ozarks through not just healthcare, but also employment opportunities. Speaking of which – Ozarks Healthcare is focused on the future of families – this means we have to recruit a strong workforce now. Our nurse residency and extern programs do just that and are high- lighted in this issue. Lastly, as a family of our own at Ozarks Healthcare, we celebrate mile- stones in life, big and small. At the end of the holiday season, we will bid our matriarch of sorts, Ruth Warren, goodbye as she enjoys retirement af- ter 48 years spent at our health sys- tem, the longest tenure of any OZH coworker to date. When I think of legacy, I think of Ruth. I love how her story connects with the growth of our health system and think you will too. From Ozarks Healthcare to you and your family, I wish you a joyous and healthy holiday season.
