Since beginning her career as a bedside nurse at The University of Kansas Hospital, Ms. Peterman has taken on several nursing and leadership roles. She served as chief nursing officer, executive vice president and COO of the hospital before taking on her current role as executive vice president, COO and CNO for the health system in 2018. She also serves as the president of the Kansas City division. Her leadership has been transformational for the academic medical center’s culture, driving initiatives that improve care outcomes, engage staff members, foster a healthy work environment, enhance safety and more. Thanks in large part to her guidance, the hospital has been recognized as one of the high-performing comprehensive academic medical centers by Vizient’s quality and accountability study nine times, as of 2020.
