Paris, TN – Henry County Medical Center is proud to announce that Steve Delaney, Director of Accounting, was selected as Director of the Quarter at the December’s Department Directors’ meeting.

Delaney was recognized by Administration for the extra workload that the COVID-19 pandemic placed on him and the Accounting department in regards to the workforce and for the organization fiscally. Delaney spent countless hours researching funding and then the many changing rules and regulations with how to recognize the funding. To date, the organization has applied for and received $15.1 million in stimulus and grant funds. We also received another $11 million in Medicare Advanced Payments. This funding pays for crisis pay, hazard pay, and retention pay.

“We cannot say thank you enough for finding and securing these funds,” said Lisa Casteel, CEO. “Steve has also spent the past eight months serving behind the scenes truly as the interim CFO, even though he did not want to be recognized that way in title. We all recognize the spirit of support you give to this organization. Thank you again!”

Delaney has served as Director of Accounting at HCMC since 2006 and has worked in healthcare finance for over 28 years. He and his wife, Danette, enjoy time spent with their family which includes their five grandchildren. Delaney is actively involved serving in various roles at East Wood church of Christ.

“I am so glad to be a part of HCMC and involved in the organization’s mission,” said Delaney. “This community is blessed to have the services offered by HCMC.”

HCMC recognizes department leaders every quarter as well as selecting a department leader of the year at the annual Service Awards Banquet.
