Some of the best ideas in rural health care start right here in Cochise County!

This week, Benson Hospital & Northern Cochise Community Hospital CEO, Gary Kartchner and CNO Velma Cooper are sharing their real-world experience and successes with leaders from across the country at the 39th Annual AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference.

Both Gary and Velma know that providing care in rural and outlying communities takes creativity, strong leadership, and a culture that truly supports the people doing the work. We know a flexible, connected workforce is a big part of what makes that possible.

Their shared leadership model across both hospitals has made a real difference right here in Cochise County for our neighbors. And now, hospital leaders around the country will know what we know - workforce flexibility means teams can work smarter—not harder—and builds a shared culture rooted in People First, Always.

Thank you Gary & Velma!

☀️ Well Benson, the results are in… 🌵
The groundhog saw his shadow… but you live in Arizona, so it doesn’t matter! 😂

Translation: * Still sunny ☀️
Still warm 🌡️
Still... definitely not winter. 🏜️

Carry on and enjoy your beautiful day! While the rest of the country is digging out of the snow, we'll be right here with a frosty drink just like our furry friend. 😎🍹
