Baxter Regional Medical Center’s chief financial office, Debbie Henry, is among four individuals working in the nonprofit realm across the state honored earlier this month by Arkansas Business. The four are among a larger group of 18 Arkansas Business recognized across Arkansas in categories from large private companies to small/medium private companies, as well as banking and education.
Henry’s Arkansas Business profile notes her introduction to the financial side of the health care industry came more than three decades ago.
After graduating from Southwest Missouri State University, now known as Missouri State University, in 1987 with an accounting degree, Henry went to work for an accounting firm in Tulsa.
She left the Tulsa firm in 1993 and went to work in finance for manufacturing industry companies. In 22004, Henry returned to health care as CFO of North Arkansas Regional Medical Center in Harrison.
In 2016, she took the CFO position at BRMC.
Henry says her interest in accounting blossomed in high school when she was growing up in Humansville, Missouri. She was a member of her high school’s accounting team competing against other high schools.
Henry is a member of the Rotary Club of Mountain Home and past president and board member of the Rotary Club of Harrison. She is also a member and co-chair of the CFO committee of the Arkansas Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association.
Henry and her colleagues were recognized at a luncheon in Little Rock. The honorees were chosen by an independent panel of judges who know firsthand about successful CFOs.
This is the 10th year Arkansas Business has shone the spotlight on financial leaders in Arkansas with unique achievements in their field.
