Ms. Meyer has served as CFO of Howard County Medical Center for more than a decade, driving financial health, long-term sustainability and community impact amid the challenges of a rural critical access hospital. Her core duties encompass financial planning, budgeting and accounting, and she strategically manages limited resources to maximize patient care while aligning fiscal strategy with the hospital’s goals of enhancing the patient experience, expanding services and deepening community involvement. Ms. Meyer pioneered the creation of a financial navigator role that helps patients find drug rebates, secure co-pay assistance, identify lower-cost medications, establish manageable payment plans and connect with community resources such as food shelves and transportation services. That initiative has yielded measurable results, including a 42% reduction in self-pay debt. The medical center was named to The Chartis Group’s “Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals” in 2025 and 2024, and earned the Health Resources and Services Administration “DoNation Platinum Award” in 2025. Before her appointment as CFO, Ms. Meyer was a senior audit associate at Seim Johnson, a CPA and healthcare firm.
