Stephanie Meyer, R.N., MS-FNP, Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer of Children’s Mercy Kansas City, was confirmed Jan. 24 to serve in the newly created nurse-trustee role on the Missouri Hospital Association Board of Trustees. She will serve on the board in 2025.
MHA’s board provides governance for the association and assists in policy development on behalf of the state’s 137 member hospitals.
“We’re excited to welcome Stephanie to the MHA board,” said Jon D. Doolittle, MHA President and CEO. “Her vast experience and firsthand perspective as a nurse leader will help ensure that the decisions our board makes reflect the needs of caregivers and patients across the state.”
Meyer brings more than two decades of experience in clinical practice and nursing leadership to her new position on the board. In addition, her service as an adjunct nursing faculty member at both the undergraduate and graduate levels allows her to see nursing from both an operational as well as workforce development perspective.
She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from the University of Kansas, leading to her certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Meyer also holds certifications in health care administration, LEAN methodologies and patient safety.
