Shane Hilton, chief financial officer for Ballad Health, has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of “36 rural hospital CFOs to know” for 2024.
Rural areas have long struggled with limited access to quality healthcare, often requiring residents to make long journeys, incur high costs or face other significant challenges when seeking care. Rural hospitals strive to alleviate these issues for underserved communities, and their chief financial officers play a critical role in this effort.
Hilton first joined the system in 1991 as a pharmacy technician at Holston Valley Medical Center, but over the years turned his career focus to finance and held a series of leadership positions, including CFO of corporate, retail and non-acute services, before assuming the role of chief financial officer for Ballad Health in June.
