CHI St. Vincent has named Chief Nurse Executive Angie Longing as president of CHI St. Vincent Morrilton.
In her new position, Longing will continue to serve as chief nurse executive for the CHI St. Vincent Arkansas market.
Longing succeeds Bubba Arnold, who retired in late September. She has more than 30 years of experience in nursing and patient care, beginning her career with CHI St. Vincent in 1994 as a labor and delivery nurse at CHI St. Vincent Morrilton.
Over the years, she has held leadership roles including executive director for hospital-based physician practices; executive director of nursing for CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, CHI St. Vincent North and CHI St. Vincent Morrilton; and chief nursing officer at CHI St. Vincent Morrilton.
“Angie’s unwavering dedication as a leader, nurse, mentor and advocate is truly exceptional,” CHI St. Vincent Market President Chad Aduddell said in a news release. “She embodies the spirit of our ministry, and we are thrilled as she moves into this new role, serving our patients and their families with the highest level of compassion and quality of care.”
Longing also served as chief nursing officer and vice president of patient care services through a partnership with Conway Regional Health System. In 2022, she was appointed senior vice president and chief nurse executive for the CHI St. Vincent Arkansas market.
Longing holds a bachelor’s in nursing from the University of Central Arkansas and a master’s in health services management from Webster University in Little Rock. She also holds a board certificate as a nurse executive.
