Stefanie King, Vice President of Clinical Operations
Stefanie King has been named Vice President of Clinical Operations at St. Anthony!
In this role, she’ll lead the operations and strategy for several key service lines—including Family Practice, Orthopedics, Chronic Care, Cancer Services, and Outpatient Mental Health—working to improve access, efficiency, and patient care.
Stefanie joined us in June 2023 as Director of Clinic Services. She brings a strong background in healthcare leadership, along with advanced degrees in Healthcare Innovation and Compliance, plus a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
You can find her in the Admin hallway on the 4th floor of the Surgery Center, or reach her at ext. 5093.
Let's congratulate Stefanie on her new role!
St. Anthony is nationally recognized for its commitment to providing high-quality cardiovascular care!
St. Anthony has received FIVE American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines® achievement awards for demonstrating commitment to following up-to-date, research-based
guidelines for the treatment of stroke and resuscitation, ultimately leading to more lives saved, shorter recovery times, and fewer hospital readmissions.
Strokes are No. 5 cause of death in the United States according to the American Heart Association 2025 Statistical Update. Studies show patients can recover better when providers consistently follow treatment guidelines.
Get With The Guidelines put the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest evidence- and research-based guidelines.

ICYMI: SJPII Vacation Bible School Kids Donate to Shelves of Grace
Last week, St. John Paul II Parish hosted their Vacation Bible School: Adventure through the Sacraments. During the week, kids took on a big challenge! They raised $690.16 for St. Anthony’s Shelves of Grace program, a hospital-based initiative that helps patients and families with food, hygiene items, and transportation.
It was a close race, but the girls just edged out the boys and earned the reward of turning the adults into ice cream sundaes!
