Logansport Memorial Hospital has once again being selected as a finalist in the Indianapolis Business Journal’s "Healthiest Employers of Indiana" program. Tina Griffith, Health & Wellness Director of Centric HRM, and Alan Biggs, Interim President/CEO, were interviewed to supplement the application. Interview questions focused strongly on the innovative wellness programs developed through Culture Connection (the hospital’s internal health management program) and CentricHRM (Memorial’s partnership with SIHO and Consolidated Union to offer health management services to employers). "Logansport Memorial Hospital appreciates this honor and congratulates Lynda Murphy, VP of Human Resources, and Vicki Byrd, VP of Planning and Development, and their team for efforts to address and improve health, wellness, and quality of life for our employees, their families and this community," commented Biggs.
