(KLZA)--A familiar face at Community Medical Center in Falls City will be retiring in April.
After 41 years, Barb Howard is retiring. She is currently the Chief Clinical Officer at the hospital.
Howard began her career as a staff Registered Nurse at Community Hospital in Falls City. Over the years she has held the role of Surgical Supervisor for eight years and then served from 2001 to 2011 as Director of Nursing. She was then named Community Medical Center’s first Chief Clinical Officer.
Howard was involved in the planning of the new hospital in Falls City and has been involved in the planning of the current expansion project.
She plans to spend more time with her family.
A search is currently underway for someone to assume the role of chief clinical officer, which coordinates clinical services in the hospital and serves as a liaison between the medical staff, administration and staff.
CMC CEO Ryan Larsen said Howard has been a tremendous leader and is skilled, passionate and trusted.
