Dr. Mark Costley honored with CoxHealth endowment
Dr. Mark Costley has been part of rural health care since before he was born literally.
Costley, CoxHealths Medical Director of Regional Services, was born at Cox Monett Hospital back when it was St. Vincents Hospital in 1954. That day led to a childhood spent in the rural Missouri community, a career as a physician leader, and ultimately, helping other medical students follow similar paths as Associate Dean of the Springfield Clinical Campus of the University of Missouri School of Medicine.
In recognition of his work through the clinical campus, an endowed scholarship from CoxHealth was renamed in his honor as the CoxHealth and Dr. Mark Costley Legacy Scholarship Fund. The change was announced in November 2020 at CoxHealths Joint Operations Committee meeting.
