Darin Roark, RN, MBA, BSN, FACHE, President of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital

 


Today’s guest is Darin Roark, President and Chief Operating Officer of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, New Hampshire. Darin has an unusual path, from working in an insurance company to becoming a nurse specialized in emergency medicine and intensive care, to leading large organizations. His path also took him from Illinois to Florida to Dover, New Hampshire, just one town over from UNH. I really enjoyed hearing Darin’s story and learning about his deep commitment to patient care while also incorporating a deep understanding of business.
