Ms. McWhorter leads Arkansas’ only dedicated women’s hospital with a reputation for clinical innovation, safety and maternal care excellence. Under her leadership, Willow Creek Women’s Hospital became the first in the U.S. to earn vaginal birth after cesarean center of excellence status from the Maternal Safety Foundation and the first in the state to receive UNICEF’s baby-friendly designation. The hospital has maintained Joint Commission accreditation and has earned top rankings from Best of Northwest Arkansas and the Arkansas Governor’s “Quality Award”. Committed to her community even beyond the hospital walls, she is also involved with the March of Dimes and Jackson Graves Foundation.
