Kathy Griffis, CNO

Texas Hospital Association featured Titus Regional’s Chief Nursing Officer Kathy Griffis in a recent article detailing her work on a THA Leadership Fellows Program capstone project that went from spark of inspiration to statewide policy for Rural Texas Hospitals.

Initiating statewide change requires considerable teamwork and a keen understanding of the legislative process.

Kathy Griffis, vice president of clinical operations and chief nursing officer (CNO) at Titus Regional Medical Center (TRMC) in Mount Pleasant, is a THA Leadership Fellows alumna with an undeniable calling to help rural Texas hospitals improve patient care.
