Voss, president of Mercy Southern Oklahoma Communities, is on Becker’s Hospital Review’s list of 118 rural hospital and health system presidents and CEOs to know. Becker’s, a leading health care industry publication, makes the list to recognize leaders driving growth and implementing resilient strategies to keep hospitals thriving over the long haul.

“Rural hospitals are more than just health care facilities – they’re the nerve center of communities across America that rely on Mercy for care they can’t get anywhere else near their homes,” said Dr. John Mohart, Mercy executive vice president and chief operating officer. “We’re proud to see Daryle on this prestigious list with other prominent leaders in health care from around the country.”

The other Mercy leaders to make the list are Bobby Stitt, administrator of the Mercy hospitals in Kingfisher, Logan County and Watonga, and Chris Wibbenmeyer, administrator of Mercy Hospital Perry in Perryville, Missouri.
