Ms. Finn has led Fulton County Health Center as CEO since 2012, working to keep the independent, nonprofit critical access hospital focused on its local community while building regional collaborations to strengthen rural healthcare across Ohio. In 2024, she spearheaded the establishment of the FCHC Foundation, a cornerstone of the hospital’s long-term strategic plan to improve overall community health. These efforts have already funded the expansion and reopening of the hospital’s Heart and Vascular Center, doubling its size, adding a second catheterization lab and enabling 24/7 level 2 cardiac intervention services. Ms. Finn joined the Ohio High Value Network, a consortium of 25 rural hospitals caring for more than 2.5 million patients, to share best practices and strengthen rural healthcare services statewide. She currently serves as chair of the board of trustees for the Ohio Hospital Association and as vice president of the Fulton County Economic Development Corporation board of directors. Under her leadership, the health center received the 2024 “Cancer Screening Excellence Award” from the Ohio Department of Health and the 2024 “Healthy Worksite Gold Level” designation from the Healthy Business Council of Ohio. Ms. Finn began her career at Fulton County Health Center in 1983 and has held roles across medical records, quality assurance, health information and administration.
