Box Butte General Hospital (BBGH) is pleased to announce the appointment of Kim Morrow as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). With more than 30 years of experience in finance, including five years in healthcare, Morrow brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to BBGH. “We are excited to have Kim back at BBGH. She did a great job as a Controller for us in her previous role, and we welcome her to the executive team as our new CFO. She is going to be a great asset for us moving forward,” said Dr. Brian Shelmadine, Interim Chief Executive Officer. Morrow is bringing her experience in key specialties such as accounting, strategic planning, revenue cycle, auditing, and compliance.

Before joining BBGH in 2020, Morrow worked as the Finance Director to the Wyoming Department of Education in Cheyenne where she was responsible for the financial departments of the agency including the school state aide funding model. She ensured compliance with state policies and worked directly with the state legislature to implement changes.

A Panhandle native, Morrow returned to Nebraska and BBGH as the Accounting Controller in August 2020 and earned Employee of the Month in January of 2022. As CFO, Morrow oversees the financial health and strategic fiscal planning of the hospital, including budget development and financial performance, revenue cycle and reimbursement, and financial reporting and compliance. Morrow supervises the Patient Financial Services, Accounting Controller, Health Information Services, Admissions and the Box Butte Health Foundation. Morrow is focused on a comprehensive and thorough evaluation of every stage of a process. “To lead effectively, you must have a good understanding of the work processes of your staff, and knowing how each step and detail work together is imperative to achieving the department’s goals and ultimately the hospital’s mission,” says Morrow.

Outside of work, Morrow enjoys spending time with her husband, two adult children, and two grandchildren who live nearby. Weekends often include home improvement projects, caring for their two German Shepherds, and family time with the grandchildren.
