Healthcare finance industry leader Ronnie Thompson has joined the HCA Midwest Health-owned hospital as the new chief financial officer.
Centerpoint Medical Center—a Missouri-based healthcare provider with 281 total staffed beds and over $2 billion in total patient revenue—has appointed 25-year industry veteran Ronnie Thompson as chief financial officer.
Thompson will oversee all financial management aspects for Centerpoint Medical Center—which is part of HCA Midwest Health, the largest healthcare provider in Kansas City. His responsibilities include overseeing the hospital’s accounting, materials management, staffing, case management, and information technology initiatives relating to patient access and medical records.
"I look forward to working with the dynamic and collaborative Centerpoint Medical Center family and advancing the tradition of solid financial stewardship and serving patients and their families," Thompson said in a release announcing his new position. "I have a strong personal and professional commitment to community-based healthcare and value the opportunity to join one of Eastern Jackson County’s most highly-regarded hospitals."
Prior to becoming CFO Thompson served as Centerpoint Medical Center’s controller from 2012 until 2015, before being named chief financial officer at Belton Regional Medical Center, which is also part of HCA Midwest Health.
"Ronnie is a proven financial professional who will add tremendous value to our hospital," Bret Kolman, Centerpoint Medical Center Chief Executive Officer, said in the release. "His breadth of experience and expertise are assets as we continue to drive the hospital’s high-quality excellence in safe and compassionate patient care and physician engagement. Ronnie joins us at a time when we are on a growth trajectory to meet the increasing healthcare demands of the communities we serve."
