Kristi Daugherty, CEO of Emergence Health Network is a transformational, inspirational leader. 

Located in El Paso, TX, the area they serve has an extremely high poverty level, and there are many challenges.

When Kristi took over Emergence Health Network 10 years ago, the organization had $300k in cash…. and now they have $20-million! 

Kristi starts with a “Can-do” perspective, works forward, building a 3-year strategic plan that everyone in the organization delivers to. 

Now finishing their 2nd 3-year plan, they’ve gone from overcoming financial hardships, to improving staff retention and building their team and morale, to bolstering community access and services. 

For Kristi and the Emergence Health Network team, their strategic plan allows them to focus on what’s important to the organization and the community, and also enables them to be agile when the unexpected pops up.
