NEWPORT –– North Country Hospital recently announced that Kyle Kovacevich is now North Country’s CFO. Kyle graduated from Texas A&M with a BBA in Finance, and then in 2016 he completed a Master’s of Business Administration – Finance from the University of North Texas in Denton.
He most recently came from a CFO/Risk Officer position at Black River Memorial Hospital (critical access) in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Finding a need for more accounting expertise, he obtained a second bachelor’s degree in accounting from Western Governors University in Salt Lake City in 2020. Kyle has extensive finance experience working for large health systems, but he definitely prefers rural health and is happy to be settling into Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.
