Businesswoman to take hospital board seat

Businesswoman Elaine Turner has been elected to succeed Bo Wilhite as a member of the board of directors of Oconee Memorial Hospital. Turner was the choice during a board meeting last week—the same meeting at which Wilhite was commended for two terms of service. Hunter Kome, OMC Campus President, says Turner begins a three-year term next month, but won’t attend a meeting until the next scheduled meeting in February.
