Mr. Cline oversees the staff and operations of Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital, a 37-bed rural community hospital. He has been with Carilion for over 30 years. Under his leadership, the system has expanded specialty care and reduced its backlog of patients, improving wait times and length of stay. In the last few years, Carilion has launched the rural area’s first neurology clinic. Mr. Cline also led a $15 million expansion project that added additional service lines, including podiatry and hand surgery. He also guided Carilion towards the expansion of its community health assessment, which identifies where the hospital needs to grow to meet demand.
