Mr. Cline oversees the staff and operations of Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital, a 37-bed community hospital in rural Rocky Mount, Va. In 2022, the hospital had more than 1,400 admissions and 18,000 emergency department visits. Under his leadership in 2022, the hospital completed the first phase of a $15 million expansion to bring additional services, such as OBGYN, hand surgery, plastic surgery, podiatry and more, and expanded operating rooms and equipment. He has led two programs that lessened environmental impact at the institution, such as an initiative that dropped fuel usage by nearly 30 percent and a recycling program that should recycle more than 7,000 pounds a year.
