Board Chair’s Loyalty to Huntington Hospital Is Professional, Personal
Huntington Hospital Board of Directors Chair Jaynie Studenmund and Dr. Lori Morgan, the hospital’s president/CEO, attend a Veterans Day flag-raising ceremony. As Gold Star parents, Studenmund and her husband, Woody, are committed to supporting those who have served in the armed forces.
She’s been dedicated to volunteerism at Huntington Hospital for 30 years, but Jaynie Studenmund recently saw the hospital through a more personal lens when her husband was admitted there three times in less than a month.

The experience helped bring home a message she’s long heard: Huntington’s medical staff really does make all the difference.
“An unintended consequence of spending so much time here has been seeing firsthand that our [E.R.] docs and nurses are pretty amazing. Our nurses have a level of dedication, warmth and expertise that is very heartwarming,” she said, noting that the medical staff gave her husband around-the-clock care, passing along vital information amid seamless shift changes. “I’m not an expert or a physician, and when you rely on the hospital to do its job … suddenly this is where rubber meets the road.

Huntington Hospital’s New CEO Puts Patients Ahead of Business
Before Dr. Lori J. Morgan makes any big decision as Huntington Hospital president and CEO, there’s a method she likes to use first, where she imagines the patient is in the middle of the room.
“There is a business side to operating a facility that is as large as Huntington, but when it comes to decision-making, I always put the patient in the center of the room and try to make the right decision for that patient at that moment,” she said. “For me, in the long-term that always ends up being a good business decision, although it’s not always the case in the short-term.” Continue reading “Huntington Hospital’s New CEO Puts Patients Ahead of Business”
