MOAB, UTAH – Moab Regional Hospital is thrilled to announce the addition of two accomplished leaders to its team: Dr. William Gustin, Chief Medical Officer, and Margy Swenson, RN, Director of Nursing. Their extensive experience and unwavering dedication to patient-centered care strengthen the hospital’s commitment to providing exceptional healthcare services. The hospital looks forward to the positive impact they will bring to the community.
Dr. Gustin, the new Chief Medical Officer, has a special connection to Moab. Years ago, he and his wife visited, fell in love with the region, and even purchased land in Castle Valley. This new role has brought him back to settle here full-time and serve the community he admires.
Dr. Gustin brings a wealth of experience in physician informatics and has led various health IT initiatives across multiple healthcare systems. As a hospitalist, medical school professor, and healthcare consultant, he has dedicated his career to improving patient care, streamlining workflows, and managing change. His mission work in Kibuye, Rwanda, where he trained local volunteers in health education and HIV screening, reflects his passion for helping others.
With his expertise in electronic health records and population health, Dr. Gustin is excited to help Moab Regional Hospital expand patient care. He looks forward to connecting with the community and leveraging his skills to strengthen the patient-physician relationship.
With an extensive background and a wide range of experience in healthcare, Margy Swenson, RN, is well-prepared for her new role as the Director of Nursing. Since moving to Moab in 1999, she has explored the area on foot, horseback, and by boat. Her healthcare journey began in 2004 as an EMT, and in 2009, she became the Director of Grand County EMS. Swenson began working as a nurse at Moab Regional Hospital in 2014, gaining experience in various hospital departments, including acute care, infusion services, emergency care, and, most recently, hospice, where she has served as director since 2020. In her new position, she will oversee all nursing operations, including staffing, training, and maintaining high standards of patient care while fostering a patient-first culture and supporting the growth of her team.
Hospital staff, including CEO Jen Sadoff, are excited about the new leadership team. “We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Gustin and Margy Swenson,” Sadoff shared. “Dr. Gustin’s expertise in Meditech, our new electronic medical record system, comes at a crucial time as we wrap up construction and focus on quality and program growth. Margy’s experience and leadership will ensure our nursing team continues to provide high-quality care. Together, they will enhance our efforts to improve patient outcomes and make a positive impact for everyone we serve.”
Moab Regional Hospital, an independent nonprofit in Moab, Utah, is a Critical Access Hospital and Level IV Trauma Center with 17 beds. The hospital prioritizes patients, provides high-quality and affordable healthcare, and promotes community wellness.
