Ridgeview Board member Nancy Mathwig recognized by the Minnesota Hospital Association

Ridgeview Board member Nancy Mathwig, from Arlington, Minn., was among 22 hospital and health system trustees from across the state who were recently recognized by the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) for completion of its trustee certification program. This certification underscores participants’ unwavering commitment to the patients, care teams and communities they serve.

Mathwig has served on the Ridgeview Sibley Medical Center Board of Directors since 2021. “Ridgeview  congratulates Nancy on this achievement. Her efforts to voluntarily seek certification better equips her to meet the growing demands of serving on a hospital board,” said Sarah Urtel, MHA, Vice President, Ridgeview. “Nancy is a strong advocate for health care in her community and greater Sibley County. She has worked in health care herself for many years and understands the value of having great health care close to home.”

MHA’s trustee certification program provides hospital and health system trustees with training on current health care trends, governance best practices, ethics, government regulations, and patient safety and quality. Participants undergo 30 hours of coursework, making Minnesota’s program the most comprehensive in the nation.  

“Hospitals and health systems are cornerstones for the communities they serve, and are facing a multitude of historic challenges,” said Dr. Rahul Koranne, MHA president and CEO. “MHA’s trustee certification program ensures that hospital and health system leaders are well-prepared for their roles.”
