Maureen Tarrant
President and CEO - Sky Ridge Medical Center
"We knew, through research and discussions with local leaders, that there was a tremendous need for a regional hospital in this location. But no one predicted how thoroughly the people in our community would embrace Sky Ridge. More then 3,000 people attended a preview even before we opened. And, we saw more patients in our emergency department than we expected right at the start."
