Chief Financial Officer - FILLED

Johnson Regional Medical Center (JRMC), a non-profit hospital located in Clarksville, AR, has an outstanding opportunity for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Morgan Hunter HealthSearch has been retained to conduct this key search.

JRMC has been serving the population of Johnson, Logan, Franklin, and Pope counties since 1922 (35,000 – 40,000 in the service area). The initial vision and commitment of local physicians to care for sick patients that started in a meager boarding house has now become a first-class healthcare facility licensed for 90 beds. JRMC provides a wide variety of health services, including mental health (IP & OP), orthopedics, general surgery, women’s health, and the only accredited sleep center between Fort Smith and Little Rock. The medical staff is approximately 40.

The CFO, reporting to the CEO, is responsible for the Revenue Cycle (business office, HIM, patient access, patient accounting), Materials Management, Dietary, EVS, and Case Management departments. Direct reports include department heads, a Controller, and two accounting clerk staff. The position is also a key member of the senior executive team, which works collaboratively to oversee all aspects of the hospital.

Candidate qualifications include at least five years’ healthcare accounting and financial leadership experience, with a strong preference for prior CFO responsibilities. Must possess excellent communication and presentation skills, be an advocate of teamwork, still be able to work in the numbers when needed and strong mentoring skills. A bachelor’s degree is required, while a Master’s and CPA are preferred.
