Dr. Korrey Klein, president and chief executive officer of Family Health West in Fruita, received recognition from a national health care firm.

Custom Learning Systems presented Klein with a Summit Award as the most inspiring leader.

CLS works with health care networks across North America to help them change cultures to become employers and providers of choice as well as deliver care with kindness. Family Health West engaged with CLS in 2020.

“It’s both humbling and a great honor to receive this award,” Klein said. “Leading such a great organization is my privilege, and I look forward to the future of health care at Family Health West.”

Lori Randall, executive vice president of operations at Family Heath West, said Klein is committed to the organization and its employees. He personally administered COVID-19 vaccinations in the first clinic set up in Mesa County at the onset of the pandemic and participates in every service excellence event. “It is hard to find this kind of leader in health care today. It’s an honor to work with a leader like Dr. Klein, and I am happy and proud that he is the recipient of this award,” Randall said.

Family Health West operates a 25-bed hospital, emergency room and network of specialty clinics. For more information, visit https://fhw.org.
