Mr. Mee leads North Country Healthcare, a system comprising three rural critical access hospitals. The system includes Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin, N.H., Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook, N.H. and Weeks Medical Center in Lancaster, N.H., along with the North Country Home Health and Hospice Agency, making it the largest employer in northern New Hampshire. With more than 30 years of healthcare administration experience spanning nursing, physician practice and operations, Mr. Mee has prioritized cultural unity and operational integration, most notably overseeing the unification of three previously competitive organizations under a single EHR that enabled shared services such as maternity care. He championed a staff-initiated Lean Six Sigma project to standardize tracking of indwelling urinary catheters and central lines, achieving 100% documentation compliance across all three hospitals and zero catheter-associated urinary tract infections for more than eight months. Mr. Mee also leveraged data analytics through the “Sleepless Nights” campaign to reduce average waiting time for biopsy results by 50%, significantly reducing patient anxiety around cancer screenings. North Country Healthcare earned the 2024 National Rural Health Association “Outstanding Rural Health Organization” award for its shared EHR implementation and achieved College of Healthcare Information Management Executives’ “Digital Health Most Wired Level 9” status for both acute and ambulatory settings in 2025. He previously served as president and CEO of McLaren Greater Lansing in Michigan, and has presented at American Hospital Association rural healthcare sessions on strategies for building successful rural systems.
