Nothing exists in Rulon Stacey's life to differentiate temporal affairs from spiritual matters.
For Brother Stacey, gospel principles shape not only the landscape of his home life and the manner in which he serves as a counselor in the Colorado Denver North Mission presidency, but even extend to significantly influence the work he performs as president and CEO of the Poudre Valley Health System (PVHS) in Fort Collins, Colorado.
\"I've got a master's degree and I've got a PhD,\" he said. \"But to be honest, I learned leadership and how to run a quality organization as a deacon and a priest and going to my priesthood meetings and listening to my father. That's where you learn it; the 121st section [of the Doctrine and Covenants] is the best leadership manual ever.\"
Brother Stacey traveled to the White House on Dec. 2 to meet Vice President Joe Biden and receive the 2008 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, arguably the highest award for organizational quality in the world, on behalf of PVHS.
