Administration
Bill Hellebusch
Administrator
Bill received his doctorate degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2010. Since then, he has served Mercy-Washington in various bedside and leadership roles. In his current position, Executive Director of Operations, Bill oversees all support services (food services, custodial and maintenance, supply chain, etc.). He also manages several clinical departments (with both inpatient and outpatient functions) and clinic-based physician offices. Bill has a history of effectively collaborating with all operative levels within the Mercy organization - from front line staff to physicians and executives. One key to Bill's success is effective communication. He genuinely cares about people and routinely makes time to listen to the concerns and ideas brought to him by coworkers, providers and patients. On June 1, 2023, Bill assumed the additional position of Administrator, Hermann Area District Hospital. While he continues to serve Mercy-Washington, Bill can be found onsite at Mercy-Herman at least three days per week. Bill has many goals and aspirations for Mercy-Herman and will likely spend more time on campus as he works towards making his vision a reality. Bill grew up just 15 minutes north of Hermann in the rural Jonesburg area. He has frequented the town since childhood and is very familiar with the Hermann community. Bill and his wife, Ali, currently live in Washington with their four children. When not at work, Bill can be found with his family on his homestead, Rhine Valley Farm, at a Go Hog Wild 4-H meeting, or on a baseball diamond coaching little league.

Matt Siebert – Executive Director-Talent & Business Initiatives
Healthcare is challenging, complex, and ever-changing. Along with that, it begs that we challenge the ‘status quo,’ step outside of our comfort zone, and reinvent how we do business. It in this vain that I have asked Matt Siebert to take on a new challenge as our Executive Director – Talent & Business Initiatives. This position was especially developed with Matt’s unique strengths and talents in mind. As the Assistant Administrator, Matt has spent the last several years leading the operations for Imaging, Lab, Therapy, RT, IT and our Support Services. Matt also has extensive experience with developing crucial evaluations and submitting business assessments for healthcare systems. Some past successes include several meaningful use attestations resulting in over $1.2M in increased revenue for HADH, serving as our admin user for NextGen, and successfully garnered a partnership with the community to submit a Community Health Needs Assessment in 2016. It is these talents that I have asked Matt to assume the role as our lead strategic partner for Human Resources where he will help us find, attract, and retain new talent. Matt has also agree to serve in a new capacity working to procure grants for HADH through grant writing. Matt will retain his oversight of our IT department and will continue with meaningful use reporting and price transparency. To allow Matt time to focus on his new responsibilities, leadership of his current departments will be divided among Sue Daller, as mentioned above, and myself. Matt received a Bachelor of Science degree in Radiologic Technology and a Master's degree in Health Administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia. He and his wife, Gemma, live in Hermann, MO where he has served on the local board of the Crusade for Cancer and is also currently a member of Saint George Catholic Church. Please join me in welcoming Matt to his new role.
