Ms. Clift serves as CEO of TriState Health, leading a 25-bed critical access hospital and multi-site system that serves a 10-county region across three states and employs about 650 people. She is accountable to a 13-member board for operational and financial performance in a high-volume rural setting, with an average inpatient census reported at 300% above the state average for critical access hospitals. Under her leadership, TriState built a new 60,000-square-foot inpatient wing and raised $9 million in philanthropy within 12 months to support the expansion. She also drove improvements in patient experience, while increasing gross revenue 53% and improving total margin by 400% through service line growth, revenue cycle initiatives and operational efficiencies. Ms. Clift modernized core diagnostic capacity by replacing CT, MRI and 3D mammography equipment and adding a second CT, funded through federal appropriations and philanthropy. She strengthened the workforce pipeline through a high school certified nursing assistant program with a local community college, and reduced employee turnover by 32% by advancing Just Culture and team-based training initiatives.
