The list includes CEOs from rural healthcare systems and hospitals across the nation. "The executives featured on this list are committed to expanding hospital service lines, renovating and improving their facilities, and hiring talented team members.

The review included the following about MMHS's CEO: "Ms. Salamacha is responsible for leading a team of executives and care providers that offer high-quality healthcare services to the local community. After taking over as CEO in 2019, she went into the Covid-19 pandemic facing a unique challenge. Despite this challenge, she demonstrated her ability to bring various groups together and maintained round-the-clock healthcare delivery. She also expanded services, campus locations and led her organization-wide revitalization of the system's business functions."


Becker's Hospital Review is a trusted source of information and news for healthcare professionals and leaders. It is one of the fastest-growing media platforms in the industry. The publication supports rural healthcare, stating that "Rural hospitals allow patients from remote areas to receive care without traveling long distances or sacrificing quality.
