Faces of Arkansas: The Face of Hospitals, Conway Regional Health System

Matt Troup, FACHE, President and CEO

 

For the past 100 years, Conway Regional Health System has provided high-quality, compassionate health care to the communities it serves. As these communities continue to grow, Conway Regional grows in lockstep to provide innovative services, new clinics, more specialists and expanded access to care. In 2019, Conway Regional began to implement a multi-phase capital investment plan that is expanding and enhancing services throughout the health system — including a new medical office building, a new critical care unit, renovation of the 8,000-square-foot health and fitness center and expansion of the hospital’s clinic in Greenbrier. Additionally, the health system added a second state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratory, two 3D mammography devices to improve detection of breast cancer, and recruited numerous highly talented physicians to the medical team in the areas of neuro spine surgery, rheumatology, infectious disease, neurology, hematology-oncology, pain management, gastroenterology, pulmonology, vascular surgery and general surgery.

 

At the helm of this vast operation is CEO and President Matt Troup.

 

Troup has more than 20 years of executive leadership experience in the health care industry, serving in various administrative roles in hospitals in Texas, Oklahoma and Florida. He moved to Arkansas in 2014 as vice president of ancillary and support services at CHI St. Vincent and was named President and CEO of Conway Regional Health System within one year.

 

“My perspective is that work without a calling is drudgery. Those who work in health care, including leadership, should have a calling,” Troup says. “That calling enables us to commit to providing excellent care to people when they need it most.”

 

Troup says that, in all things, Christ is his inspiration, as well as his wife.

 

“The integration of my work and faith is fundamental,” he says. “In addition, my wife, Melissa, is a key source of inspiration and support. She is a brilliant spouse, mother, educator and supporter. She has been a sounding board and girded my faith during challenging times.”
