or a guy who came from one of the least-populated states in the nation, Dr. Troy Caron has spent a lot of time in big-city hospitals. The board-certi-


fied orthopedic surgeon from Maine has practiced in Tampa, Seattle, Dallas and St. Louis at various points in his career, which helped shape this physician and sharpen his skills. But something in him always wanted to get back to a quiet life, which is what he’s found at Ozarks Healthcare. “The large hospital systems, maybe they have technology, but as a physician you don’t really have a voice in how you treat your patients,” he said. “In those large hospital systems, the CEO wouldn’t know me and I wouldn’t know him if we walked by each other in the hallway. Whereas here, I can call up to (Ozarks Healthcare CEO) Tom Keller on the phone and have a meeting with him that same day.”
