Kevin Leeper
Chief executive officer, Hill Country Region, and chief operating
officer of the Hill Country Clinics, including Scott & White
Hospital - Llano and the Hurd Regional Medical Center
Kevin Leeper knows the Hill Country and Highland Lakes
region well. As chief executive officer of Llano Memorial
Hospital (recently renamed Scott & White Healthcare - Llano)
since 2001, he has witnessed firsthand the growing need for
specialty healthcare in the area. Mr. Leeper was also named
CEO of the Hurd Regional Medical Center in 2011.
“The hospital itself will
help thousands of patients
and create about 500
jobs total, including
staff for the hospital
and physician offices.”

“The need for world-class healthcare, especially in a rural
community, is real. People really stepped up and decided that
this is a place where they want to stay and complete their lives
right here. It’s something the communities we’ll serve can
truly own,” he says. “I think this area is the golden nest egg of
what Texas offers! I fell in love with the area when we moved
here in 2001.”
Mr. Leeper is enthusiastic about what the medical center will
bring to the region. “The hospital itself will help thousands
of patients and create about 500 jobs total, including staff for
the hospital and physician offices," he says. “I’m impressed
with how our communities have embraced the idea of growth.
We can be successful with the community’s passion and the
strong network of Scott & White physicians.”
