Letter from Chip Northrup

Kudos to Bassett’s Staci Thompson

Staci Thompson was brought in to turn Bassett around and, by golly, she’s done it! At the time of her elevation to CEO, I wrote a letter to “The Freeman’s Journal” quoting Margaret Thatcher: “If you want someone to make a speech, hire a man. If you want to get something done, hire a woman.” I stand by my original assessment. Onward Bassett Healthcare.
