Christina Clifford Brings Vast Experience to Freeman Health System
Christina Clifford has been named Freeman Health System’s System Director of
Revenue Cycle. She’s excited to return to the employer that helped launch her professional
career from 2007 to 2015 as Freeman’s patient accounts support coordinator.
“[Freeman] is where I first discovered my passion for healthcare revenue-cycle operations and
improvement,” Clifford said. “Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to lead teams across
multiple health systems and physician groups, focusing on technical billing, workflow
optimization, and compliance. Returning to Freeman feels meaningful and full circle. I’m
grateful for the chance to bring my experience back to an organization that serves the
community I care deeply about.”
After leaving Southwest Missouri, Clifford worked for various healthcare systems based in
Texas, Maryland and, most recently, Michigan, where she worked for Healthrise, in support of
Trinity Health System, as regional director of revenue site operations and revenue integrity.
What excites her most about her new role at Freeman has everything to do with partnering
with teams systemwide to strengthen processes, reduce friction, and support the people doing
the difficult day-to-day work, she said.
