KARLI A. KOHUT, CEO - PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Karli A. Kohut, CEO, is being recognized by Continental
Who’s Who as a Distinguished Executive in
the Nursing and Healthcare Administration fields and in acknowledgment of her
work as President and Chief Executive Officer at Silver Lake Hospital.
Ms. Karli A. Kohut, CEO, specializes in
Nursing/Healthcare Administration and Infection Prevention. She has been in her current role for one and
a half years, with a total of seven years in the nursing profession. Ms. Kohut
began her clinical career as a bedside registered nurse at a long-term acute
care hospital and rose through the ranks as a floor/charge nurse, providing
rehabilitation services and caring for critically ill patients. She then became
a house supervisor before taking on the area of Infection Control and managing
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ms. Kohut also led a collaborative infection control initiative with the NJDOH,
concentrating on Candida Auris screening, prevention, and treatment. She and
her team became locally known as the Candida Auris "task force,"
educating area infection prevention teams on methods to control and treat
Candida Auris.
On a personal note, her grandmother was a nurse in the same community where she
currently serves; hence there is a sense of nostalgia for her.
Pertaining to her educational background, Ms. Kohut is working towards her
Master's degree in Healthcare Administration with a concentration in Leadership
to be conferred in 2023. In 2019 she became board certified in infection
prevention and control, subsequently leading hospital staff through the
Covid-19 pandemic. Shortly thereafter, she was promoted to Chief Operating
Officer in early 2021.
Among her professional memberships and associations, Ms. Kohut is actively
affiliated with the American Nurses Association, the Association for
Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), Caldwell College
School of Nursing, and the Public Health Advisory Board.
Looking to the future, one of her primary goals is to complete her Master's
degree in healthcare administration. She is also excited to participate in the
planning, building, and expansion of her hospital's units and services. She
looks forward to networking with industry professionals to collaborate with and
learn from.
.
Among her keys to success is her drive to always improve. She believes that a
person's education is never complete; there is always something new to learn.
Outside of work, Ms. Kohut enjoys spending time with her family. She has
particularly liked participating in her daughter's high school cheer booster
club as secretary and watching her perform at all-star cheerleading
competitions. She also enjoys vacationing at Walt Disney World and anywhere in
the Caribbean.
