“In speaking with our hospital administrators, we gain valuable perspective on matters that are of utmost concern to them,” noted Sandra Garrett, President of Jackson & Coker. “The thought processes of those who serve in key leadership roles are particularly insightful for individuals who are influenced by their decisions and actions.”
Recently Michael Lindsey, Senior Recruiter with Jackson & Coker’s Permanent Placement Division, interviewed Dr. Stephen K. Toadvine for the Healthcare Executives’ Insights column in the JCIR.
Stephen Toadvine, MD, MPH, MMM, serves as Chief Medical Officer of Baptist Regional Medical Center in Corbin, Kentucky. In a Q&A format, the doctor discussed his early attraction to the health care profession, role models who influenced his career choices, and particular challenges he faces in providing executive leadership in his current role.
