The Board of Trustees of Memorial Hospital of Carbon County is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephanie Hinkle as the Chief Operating Officer for the organization, effective 11.07.2024.

Hinkle has been with MHCC since November 2019, moving from Marketing and Communications Director to Director of Strategic Operations in January 2024.

A Carbon County native, Stephanie grew up on a cow-calf operation outside of Encampment, WY, graduating from Encampment High School and then obtaining a B.S. in Agribusiness and Minor in Economics from the University of Wyoming. Hinkle brings a diverse background in leadership and business operations, including business startup, market growth, project planning, and management to her role as COO.

Stephanie moved back to Carbon County in 2019 and quickly felt at home upon starting with Memorial Hospital of Carbon County. “Coming from an agricultural background, I would have never imagined myself working in healthcare. While incredibly complex and challenging, I have been drawn to and driven by the mission of helping others, enhancing operational efficiencies, and looking at strategies to help ensure rural healthcare services are available to our communities.”

“Stephanie has immersed herself in each role since starting with MHCC and has a proven track record of leadership, sound decision making, and an understanding for both the good of the organization and our patients alike.” Rod Waeckerlin, MHCC Board Chair
