About this Event

Join us for an inspiring Fireside Chat with Lisa Carter, Regional President of Ballad Health's Southern Region and former CEO of Niswonger Children's Hospital. Lisa’s incredible journey, from starting as a bedside nurse to becoming a transformative healthcare leader, offers a wealth of insight into what it means to lead with purpose. Lisa will share how she’s tackled challenges, set meaningful priorities, and driven impactful change—both professionally and personally. Her focus on addressing healthcare needs in rural communities highlights how aligning purpose with action can create lasting impact.
