Trisha Montague
Arkansas Children’s Hospital President and CEO Marcy Doderer announced Wednesday that the hospital has named Trisha Montague of San Antonio, Texas, as senior vice president of Regional Services.
Montague will oversee key leadership positions and the on-site construction of the recently announced new hospital campus in Springdale.
In a news release, ACH also said Montague will lead the hospital’s strategic plan for pediatric health care services in northwest Arkansas, part of the hospital’s statewide “network of care.” She will collaborate with physicians, executives and management to implement the plan for regional growth and partner with the ACH Foundation to help grow philanthropic support for the hospital.
Montague has more than 30 years of experience in executive leadership in patient care delivery and nursing practice. She will join ACH on Nov. 30 from Children’s Hospital of San Antonio where she serves as chief nursing officer.
Montague has Arkansas ties, having served at Arkansas Children’s Hospital from 1997 to 2001, first as an assistant administrator in Inpatient Nursing, and later as vice president of Patient Care Services.
At Children’s of San Antonio, one of Montague’s major responsibilities has been serving as executive lead on a $150 million renovation project for inpatient units and services.
Montague earned her master of science in nursing administration from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, and her undergraduate degree in nursing from Loretto Heights College, also in Denver. She is Nurse Executive Advanced-Board Certified (NEA-BC).
Montague’s appointment follows the Aug. 7 announcement in which Doderer shared plans for “blanketing the state” with services designed to improve access to pediatric care and improve the health of children throughout the state, including the construction of a new northwest Arkansas campus in Springdale.
Last month, ACH announced the two architectural firms that will bring the vision of a northwest Arkansas campus to life: Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects of Fayetteville and Little Rock, Ark., and FKP Architects of Houston, Texas.
The hospital plans to break ground on the new facility in spring 2016.
