Clark comes to DCH after serving as chief operations officer at the North Sunflower Medical Center in Ruleville, Mississippi.

His first day on the job will be Aug. 19 as he replaces Donald Jones, who served as the hospital’s administrator since 2014.

North Sunflower Medical Center was named hospital of the year in 2017 by the Mississippi Nurses’ Association and the Mississippi Nurses’ Foundation, with Clark overseeing the facility’s transition to a new patient payment portal.

“Rodney has a track record of building long-term community relationships," DCH CEO Katrina Keefer said. "One of the reasons for hiring Clark was his experience in rural healthcare. He understands the unique needs of rural healthcare and how the hospital can best serve the residents who call Fayette and the surrounding communities home."

Clark holds a degree in business administration and finance from Delta State University.

He also has a background in banking and finance.
