Description
At Ringgold County Hospital, we believe rural healthcare matters deeply — and so does the leadership behind it.
We are seeking a strategic, collaborative, and forward-thinking Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join our executive leadership team. This is an opportunity for a financial leader who wants more than spreadsheets and reports. We are looking for someone who wants to help shape the future of community healthcare, support meaningful growth, and make a lasting impact on the patients, employees, and communities we serve.
The CFO serves as a key advisor to the CEO and Board of Directors and plays a critical role in guiding the hospital’s financial health, operational sustainability, and long-term strategic success.
This role is ideal for a leader who is equally comfortable analyzing financial trends, mentoring teams, building relationships, and rolling up their sleeves to solve problems alongside staff.
What You’ll Do
As CFO, you will provide leadership and oversight for the hospital’s financial operations while helping drive organizational strategy and operational excellence. Responsibilities include:
- Leading all accounting, budgeting, financial reporting, reimbursement, and revenue cycle functions
- Guiding long-range financial planning and capital strategy
- Monitoring financial performance and identifying opportunities for growth and operational improvement
- Partnering with department leaders to develop and manage budgets
- Overseeing audits, cash flow analysis, financial compliance, and regulatory reporting
- Supporting data processing, material management, medical records, and related operational functions
- Serving as a trusted member of the executive leadership team
- Helping foster a culture of accountability, teamwork, transparency, and employee engagement
Why Ringgold County Hospital?
At Ringgold County Hospital, you are not just joining a workplace — you are becoming part of a mission-driven organization that genuinely values community, relationships, and service.
We are proud of our culture of teamwork, accessibility, and commitment to rural healthcare excellence. Our leaders work closely together, support one another, and remain connected to the employees and communities we serve every day.
