Maryann Reese
President and CEO, St. Francis Healthcare System
Reese led impressive clinical and financial changes at the health system. Since 2016, she’s overseen efforts that reduced accounts receivables from 57.5 to 37.3 days. From 2017 to 2019, the system improved efforts in pay-for-performance programs, going from nearly $1 million in penalties to none. And she created a program to coordinate care across southern Missouri with other providers, which led to forming a rural obstetrics care and grant program.
