“Lacey started at Ozarks Healthcare about six years ago, overseeing the Women’s Center before being named the director of nursing,” Tom Keller, president and CEO of Ozarks Healthcare, said in a July 15 news release. “More recently, Lacey has been chief nursing officer and has taken on even more than a typical chief nursing officer.”
Throughout her tenure at the health system, she has led nursing units, overseen the opening of its women’s center in 2020 and played a key role in establishing the first COVID-19 units during the start of the pandemic.
Ozarks Healthcare’s main campus is a 114-bed hospital in West Plains. The health system also operates a network of family medicine and specialty clinics throughout the region.
