Proud to share this spotlight of our President and CEO, Kelly Driscoll. Her leadership continues to make a meaningful impact—not only within our organization, but across our community, our region, and the broader healthcare landscape in our state. Her commitment to advancing access to quality care, strengthening rural healthcare, and advocating for patients and providers alike helps shape a healthier future for the people we serve every day.
We’re grateful for the dedication and vision she brings to both our organization and the Nebraska Hospital Association board. Thank you for your continued leadership and for championing the health of communities across our state!
Spotlighting an incredible NHA board member, our Vice Chair Kelly Driscoll. Kelly is a leader with many acronyms - CEO, MHA, FACHE, and possibly our favorite, RN (shoutout to all our nurses!).
Her career in management has evolved through roles such as Director of Nursing, Chief Nursing Officer, and Interim CEO within Iowa's Unity Point Health System. In 2011, Driscoll joined Faith Regional Health Services as Vice President of Patient Care Services, assuming the positions of Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in 2013, and President and CEO in 2018.
She has been certified as a Fellow with the American College of Healthcare Executives since 2012 and been recognized as one of 130 Women Hospital and Health System Leaders to Know in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2019, as well as a Becker's Hospital Review CEO to know in 2020 and 2023.
Thank you to Kelly for all the work you do for the NHA and patients in Nebraska!
