Jason Chrisman has multiple years of experience in
healthcare management in a rural setting focusing on
hospital operations, service line growth, workforce
development, business development strategies,
employee engagement, and community involvement.
As a healthcare administrator and CEO, Jason has had multiple
experiences developing strategy to engage the healthcare community. He
has worked to recruit physicians, grow surgery volume, capture market
share, and been involved in tele health expansion into rural
Missouri. Jason also has been leading during COVID 19 and refocusing his
team’s efforts during the global pandemic. His efforts also have included
workforce training and support, community education and
communication, and state law policy changes.
New and emerging issues include attracting physicians to rural Missouri,

Jason believes the future of rural healthcare in America is bright as long as
community stakeholders work together, embrace change and innovation,
and provide the leadership necessary to progress.

planning, stakeholder engagement, regional cooperation, social media
and reputation scores, and local growth, which means that Jason has a
well rounded holistic approach to healthcare leadership.
