Wendell Van Es receives Capella Healthcare’s CFO Leadership Award

September 2, 2014

Franklin, TN.  August 29, 2014 — Wendell Van Es, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center, Russellville, AR, is the recipient of Capella Healthcare’s annual CFO Leadership Award.  The award was presented on August 20 at Capella’s annual Leadership Conference.

“Wendell Van Es is an individual whose performance is consistently positive and whose style inspires others to be better,” said Mark Medley, SVP, President of Hospital Operations for Capella Healthcare.  “Whether it’s an audit or a financial projection, this hospital’s results are among the best every year and they are considered a ‘best practice’ facility. His knowledge about systems and processes is unparalleled.  And Saint Mary’s is among the top performers for all of the key performance initiatives.  Perhaps most importantly, his leadership style inspires others to be better and he is respected by employees, colleagues and leadership.”

Van Es joined Saint Mary’s as CFO in 1995.

In conjunction with the CFO Leadership Award, Capella Healthcare will be presenting checks in honor of Van Es to the local chapter of the American Red Cross, which he has served as Board Chair since 2001, and to Sports World Ministries, with which he has been involved since 1987.
