Two
Memorial Health hospital CEOs were named “Critical Access Hospital CEOs
to Know” by Becker’s Hospital Review.
Dolan Dalpoas, president and CEO of Lincoln Memorial Hospital, and Kim
Bourne, president and CEO of Taylorville Memorial Hospital, both
appeared on the 2024 list, which was published earlier this month.
The annual list honors CEOs of critical access hospitals for their
commitment to providing high-quality care for the communities they
serve. Critical access hospitals are designated by the federal
government for their crucial role in serving rural communities.
“Lincoln Memorial Hospital and Taylorville Memorial Hospital model the
way for other critical access hospitals with their ability to provide
high-quality inpatient and outpatient care, as well as their support of
initiatives that improve the health of their communities,” said Ed
Curtis, president and CEO of Memorial Health. “This honor is a
reflection not only of the strong leadership of Dolan and Kim, but also
the crucial role that LMH and TMH play in our region.”
Dalpoas, a Lincoln native, has served as president and
CEO of LMH since 2006. Under his leadership, LMH has been repeatedly
recognized with state and national awards for high-quality care,
sustainability initiatives, innovative use of technology and more.
He also serves as the chair of the Lincoln Economic Advancement and
Development board and is a member of the Board of Directors for the YMCA
of Springfield.
“It’s an honor to be named to this list alongside so many accomplished
leaders,” Dalpoas said. “I’m proud of everything LMH does to care for
and support the people of Lincoln and Logan County. We have a talented
team of colleagues who are committed to making a difference.”

Bourne, who has served as president and CEO of TMH
since 2015, grew up on a family farm in Christian County. She
recently oversaw an ambitious, two-phase facility construction
project at TMH that was designed to increase accessibility and
better meet the needs of today’s patient population. TMH is also
actively involved in community health efforts, including
implementation of a successful anti-vaping program for junior high
school students that received statewide recognition.
She is a member of the Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network
Board of Directors, Issues Committee and Legislative and Regulatory
Committee; a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare
Executives; and received National Rural Health Association Rural
Hospital CEO certification.
“TMH plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of
Taylorville and our region,” Bourne said. “I consider myself lucky
to work alongside so many caring, compassionate and dedicated people
who share my vision for TMH and the work we do to improve the health
of our community.”
