Ms. Filpi was the hospital’s CEO for more than five years, according to her LinkedIn page. She currently serves as interim CEO of Eads, Colo.-based Kiowa County Hospital District as well as development director for Chicago-based Foresight Hospital and Health Systems. 

Foresight focuses on “bringing high-quality healthcare to underserved communities,” particularly in urban and rural areas, according to its website. The company bought Pioneer Community Hospital for $2.1 million in the spring and plans to reopen it by Jan. 31. A five-bed emergency room will open first, followed by a psychiatric program, the newspaper reported. 

Ms. Filpi told Cardinal News she would be open to serving as the hospital’s CEO again.
