NMC Health is excited to announce the addition of Scott Barnett as Vice President of Clinic Operations.
With a passion for leadership and a track record of driving innovation in healthcare, Scott brings fresh energy and experience to our executive team.
Let’s get to know him a little better:
Why are you excited to join NMC Health?
NMC Health has a great culture, an ever-growing footprint in the region, and a reputation of providing high level care that reaches well beyond Newton, Kansas. I’m excited for the responsibility of helping NMC Health remain a great place to work and receive healthcare locally.
Why did you choose to have a career in healthcare?
I don’t know that I chose a career in healthcare, as much as it just kind of happened, but I cannot envision myself doing anything else. Being on the operations side of healthcare, I get the opportunity to support our providers and front-line staff by making sure they have the tools necessary to treat our patients in the best ways possible.
What are your specialties, and why did you choose them?
My background in healthcare has mainly focused on operations and growth and development. This allows me to work with our providers and staff to provide them with the resources they need to treat our patients with the highest level of care possible.
What inspires you to do what you do every day?
Ii enjoy getting to take the feedback from our staff and providers and working with them to find solutions to issues they have helped us to uncover. While this can be challenging at times, it is rewarding when we get to celebrate even small wins.
What are your favorite things to do outside of the office?
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling when possible, and trying new restaurants.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone considering a career in healthcare, what would it be?
To explore as many options as you can within healthcare. The opportunities for a career in healthcare are endless, and you will never know what you may enjoy until you are exposed to it.
What’s the best advice you received?
Don’t dwell on mistakes and negative experiences. Instead, focus on the present and moving forward with a positive attitude.

Congratulations, Scott! We can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll accomplish!
