These individuals were recognized for their leadership and contributions that are essential to the successes of the rural hospitals they helm.

This recognition is a testament to her leadership and the work environment she has built at Allen Hospital.”

She rose through the ranks, eventually becoming vice president of ancillary and support before being appointed to her current role as president of Allen Hospital in 2021. Her leadership has driven significant improvement in Allen Hospital’s quality, culture and financial performance, including improving the hospital's revenues by 21.4%. Jankowski is responsible for strategic leadership and growth of the hospital, executing the organization’s strategic plan and developing growth opportunities to expand the hospital’s presence within the Oberlin community.
“It is an honor to be among this list of hospital leaders who are transforming how patients in rural communities receive the care they need,” said Jankowski. “I could not be prouder of the high-quality, compassionate care our team at Allen Hospital provides to our patients every day.
