The Chief Executive Officer of the organization is the individual designated by management contract with Brim Healthcare.

Two Administrative Team members work directly with the Administrator. They are the Vice President of Finance and the Director of Nursing.

The corporation elects Board members at the annual meeting of the hospital held in March each year. There are ten Board members. Approximately 1/3 of the members are eligible for re-election each year. In order to be elected to the Board of Directors, a person must be a member of the hospital corporation. Anyone is eligible to become a corporation member and is required to pay an initial membership fee with annual dues.
