A Kansan with experience managing rural hospitals in the state has been tapped to lead Allen and Anderson county hospitals.
Jeremy Armstrong has been named administrator of both Allen County Regional Hospital in Iola and Anderson County Hospital in Garnett. Both are managed by the Saint Luke’s Health System of Kansas City, Mo.
Armstrong will start Monday and will oversee day-to-day operations at both hospitals.
“We are excited to have Jeremy serve as the new administrator for our Kansas critical access hospitals,” said Steve Schieber, Saint Luke’s Critical Access Region CEO. Schieber has been serving as interim-administrator since the resignation of Elmore Patterson in June.
