Only two months after taking the position of CEO, she was instrumental in acquiring funding for the addition of a second story to the hospital. This project was a critical improvement for the 25-bed hospital, which was built in 1952. The new second story enabled the hospital to comply with new mandates for air quality and federal requirements for patient privacy and accessibility.
