She brings 17 years of healthcare experience and leadership to the position. “Sandy’s experience is a perfect fit for ACMC. She is familiar with all the clinical departments that will report to her and her experience in continuous improvement will make those departments stronger and help us increase access to serve more patients,” said Leonard Stepp, Jr., president and CEO of the ACMC Healthcare System. “She is also a transparent communicator with a strong commitment to honesty, integrity, and empathy. She leads by example with a constant focus on quality care and patient and caregiver safety,”

I am excited to work alongside this team of caregivers who have a commitment to quality and a genuine compassion for patients.”
