Even before returning to his hometown of Clifton, Texas to serve as CEO and President of the local Critical Access Hospital, Goodall-Witcher, Adam Willmann, FACHE was passionate about rural healthcare. And he put his belief that deficient medical care is the first domino to fall in the collapse of Main Street America to the test when he spearheaded the administrative team that diplomatically passed the establishment of a Hospital District in Bosque County during 2018 General Election. In doing so, Adam pulled off what Kaiser Health News called a 'Texas miracle'.
Goodall-Witcher Healthcare is a 25-bed CAH that also operates two Rural Health Clinics served by 18 medical providers, a 43-bed nursing facility, home health agency and a community-wide fitness center. As Goodall-Witcher's President/CEO, Adam has established a rural collaborative with a neighboring rural health system; has been instrumental in the establishment of the Rural Texas Health Cooperative with 9 other rural hospitals; expanded surgical services and psychiatry services; increased net patient revenue by 164% since 2013; and countless other changes to keep his facility moving forward.
Prior to joining Goodall-Witcher, Adam served as CEO at Pioneer Community Hospital of Early in Blakely, Georgia, and assistant administrator at East Texas Medical Center Athens, in Athens, Texas. Professionally, Adam concurrently serves as Past-Chairman of the Texas Organization of Rural & Community Hospitals, Past-chairman of Texas Hospital Association’s HOSPAC, Board member of Texas Hospital Insurance Exchange (THIE) and the Texas Hospital Association Council on Policy Development. Previously, he served as Chairman of THA’s Leadership Development Council and Texas A&M University System Health Science Center MHA Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Adam also invests his time in the community, serving as Scoutmaster of BSA Troop 376 and calls bingo for the Bosque Arts Center. He has previously served as President of the Bosque County Chapter of Rotary Club, President of the Clifton Chamber of Commerce, and President of his Church Council. Adam, and his beautiful bride of 17 years, Heather, have two boys: Reed, 14 and Max, 11. When Adam is not working, he spends his time with his family, playing golf, hunting, and supporting his Texas A&M Aggies.
