Amy McDaniel
Chief Financial Officer
Wright Medical Center, Clarion

There is no bigger hero at Wright Medical Center than Amy McDaniel, the hospital’s Chief Financial Officer.  Typically, you don’t look to the CFO to be a hospital hero, but not every CFO is like Amy. 

Amy is patient and welcoming, and is always willing to listen and encourage anyone.  She does her job very well and is the picture of professionalism even in these challenging economic times.  She always has a calming positive outlook, is able to look at the big picture, and is very direct and honest in her approach.  In addition, she is a senior leader and manages several departments as parts of the hospital’s “Finance Pillar.”  The pillar she chairs receives all the employee cost-saving ideas.  Those recommendations are then translated into a dollar saving potential and passed on to the departments to implement.

Throughout the years, Amy has helped to grow and lead Wright Medical Center in ways that most small rural hospitals are not accustomed to.  Wright Medical Center has enjoyed phenomenal growth and success and a large part of this is due to Amy’s ability to think very much out of the box.  She tirelessly sought out financing models, grants and ways around conventional ways of thinking that did not move the hospital forward.

Amy also has a busy personal life with a police officer husband and four children.  A daughter, twin boys another girl and a couple of big dogs make their family complete.

Amy is the model of Wright Medical Center’s culture and values.  Every day, she illustrates and mentors what we can all accomplish together with the right attitude. 

The hospital is proud of the “Hospital Hero” that Amy McDaniel truly is.  Because if there really is a “Wonder Woman,” she is working as the CFO at Wright Medical Center!
