or 22 years, Kevin McRoberts, FACHE, has had a singular focus: Grow Lake Regional Health System. Now Lake Regional’s CEO, McRoberts shares the reason he has dedicated his career to local health care. “My goal to help the health system grow comes from my desire to meet the needs of the community,” he says. “We all have loved ones and neighbors who in the past would have to leave the community to seek care elsewhere. And, we all know people who vacationed here and retired here, but when they began having health concerns, they returned to the metro area. I’ve been determined to give them a better option. “What you see at Lake Regional today — including our heart program and our cancer program — we have built to meet people’s needs so they will call this community home,” McRoberts says. In the following Q&A, McRoberts shares more about what inspires his vision for Lake Regional.
