Amstutz honored with Regents’ Award
The Arkansas Hospital Association (AHA) announced at its November annual meeting that Terry Amstutz, FACHE, was the 2023 recipient of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Regent’s Award in the Senior-Level Healthcare Executive category. That award recognizes senior-level healthcare executives who have made significant contributions to the advancement of health care management excellence through skilled leadership, contributions to the development of colleagues, and engagement with both local and statewide communities. Nominees must be a Fellow in ACHE and demonstrate leadership excellence, along with service to their community, their employees, and their profession. Terry Amstutz has been selected as this year’s recipient of the Senior-Level Healthcare Executive ACHE Regent’s Award in recognition of his more than 35 years of senior-level leadership experience in for-profit and not-for-profit settings. For 29 of those years, he has served as a hospital administrator in rural communities throughout the state, including Calico Rock, Magnolia, Hope, Stuttgart, and – presently – in McGehee. Anyone who has worked with Terry knows that he pursues excellence with passion, focus, encouragement, accountability, urgency, and a generous sense of humor. He has served as a member of the Arkansas Hospital Association board of directors, as well as other statewide boards including Arkansas Rural Commission, Pinnacle Business Solutions, and the Arkansas Center for Telehealth. The AHA extends its heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to Mr. Amstutz for his dedication to the healthcare industry and for his commitment to the well-being of Arkansans.
