Marshfield Medical Center-Beaver Dam’s (MMC-BD) interim Chief Administrative Officer, Joe Gilene, has been named to the 2020 list of "60 Rural Hospital CEOs to Know," by Becker's Hospital Review. The list features some of the most impressive leaders dedicated to advancing health care in small towns and rural communities nationally.
Gilene joined MMC-BD in March 2019 and guided the hospital through its affiliation with Marshfield Clinic Health System, which was finalized in May, and during the ensuing integration process. Gilene’s demonstrated history of enhancing strong integrated systems and achieving excellent operational and financial results has proven valuable to the organization over the past 11 months.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the great people at Becker’s Hospital Review,” Gilene said. “It is a reflection of the hard-working, dedicated and professional staff we have at Marshfield Medical Center-Beaver Dam. They embraced the incredible opportunity to increase the level of care and number of specialty services available to our community and maintain that commitment to improvement every day.”
Prior to his work with MMC-BD, Gilene was Market President of CHI, one of the nation’s largest health systems in Kentucky, where he led a five-hospital market. He was also President of one of their large hospitals in another market before his promotion to Market President. He held other President/Administrator and Chief Operating Officer positions with Carolinas Medical Center, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Sacred Heart Medical Center and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. In these roles, he successfully achieved significantly improved results in quality, patient experience and finance, which brought recognition from prestigious ranking organizations.
Joe holds a Master’s Degree in management and business administration and also a Bachelor’s Degree in accounting/finance from the University of Cincinnati and is a certified public accountant.
The Becker's Hospital Review editorial team selected leaders through an editorial review process where a number of factors were considered, including awards received; local, regional and national leadership positions held; and their organizations' recent performance.

According to Becker’s, featured CEOs have overcome significant challenges operating rural community and critical access hospitals to lead sustainable and thriving organizations.
