BLACKFOOT — Bingham Healthcare is proud to congratulate Holly Davis, chief nursing officer, on being named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2025 edition of CNOs to Know.
Becker’s Hospital Review published the list to recognize nursing leaders across the country who are at the forefront of the profession — tackling staffing challenges, overseeing budgets, and creating pathways for the growth and development of emerging nurses.
Beyond managing nursing departments, honorees are recognized for leading forward-thinking initiatives that elevate patient care and strengthen clinical excellence. Their roles require a powerful combination of deep clinical knowledge and strategic executive leadership, making them indispensable to their organizations’ overall success.
“This recognition highlights the dedication and leadership Holly brings to Bingham Healthcare every day,” said Jake Erickson, CEO. “Her commitment to excellence in nursing and patient care is reflected throughout our organization, and we are honored to see her recognized among outstanding leaders nationwide.”
Holly began her nursing career at Bingham Memorial Hospital in 1995, where she completed her nursing capstone project in rural nursing. It was during that time that she developed a passion for rural health care. In addition to rural nursing, Holly has experience in large metropolitan health systems in Las Vegas, along with busy hospitals in Idaho and Montana. She has worked as a registered nurse on medical/surgical units, acute care and post-partum units, and numerous perioperative departments.
Holly earned an executive Master of Business Administration from Boise State University and has worked in various nurse leadership roles. She is passionate about training new nurses and has given thousands of hours during her career as a nurse educator and preceptor. In full circle, Holly returned to Bingham to work as nurse director of Bingham’s Total Joint Program, where she helped the organization achieve the coveted Blue Distinction designation for that program. She became the chief nursing officer of Bingham Healthcare in 2023.
Holly grew up working alongside her family on a farm and ranch in Mud Lake, Idaho. As a multi-generational Idahoan, Mrs. Davis’s roots run deep. She and her husband, Zane, operate a performance horse training business in Blackfoot. She has three children. She is highly involved in the local 4-H programs and volunteers her time helping to instill leadership skills in the rising generation.
According to Becker’s, the editorial team accepted nominations for the list and curated it to highlight the accomplishments of CNOs who are driving positive change across health care organizations.
