Tucked away in the back of Van Zandt Regional Hospital, a small East Texas hospital, is a quaint makeshift bedroom that is reminiscent of a nun’s quarters.
A desk lamp illuminates the extra-long twin-sized hospital bed with the white sheets neatly pulled tight over the mattress. Hats are strewn about the large wooden vanity in the room, and a Bible is placed beside the window, with pages fanning out from its daily use.
These are the temporary living quarters for the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer, Randy Lindauer. The unassuming, Indiana-native has worked his way across the country, resuscitating rural hospitals in Kansas, Florida, West Virginia and Indiana all of which are still up and running. Van Zandt Regional Hospital in Grand Saline, TX is his most recent project.
