She has led teams responsible for hospital and professional billing, financial close processes, analytics, and multi-site integration.
At Memorial Hospital, Mehringer oversaw all revenue cycle activities and partnered closely with IT and clinical teams during a full Epic implementation.

In that role, she helped develop and manage a $39 million Epic capital budget and delivered a successful go-live in just 10 months.
As CFO, Mehringer will support the hospital’s strategic direction, including the ongoing management agreement with Deaconess, growth in urology and OB-GYN services, expanded interventional radiology capabilities and GI and general surgery services, and operational improvements across the health system.
