Siloam Health’s Search Committee selected KEES after reviewing and connecting with several nationwide recommendations. “Our search committee was pleased to select KEES as our search partner of choice. KEES was a unanimous choice and we look forward to working with the entire KEES team on this important search,” said Sammye Woods, Chair, Siloam Health Board of Directors.

A faith-based, religiously chartered organization with a budget of $6 million, Siloam is the second largest charitably funded nonprofit health center in the state of Tennessee and has played a leadership role in Tennessee’s refugee medical screening program for almost two decades.
