OMH board makeup changing

The makeup of the board that sets policy for the Oconee Memorial Hospital at the local level is changing. An announcement is expected today of the board’s selection of a new member. At last night’s meeting, with gratitude for jobs well done, Regional President Jeanne Ward and Board Chairman Rick Phillips bid farewell to Thelma Miller, Bo Wilhite, Dr. Ed Evans, and Dr. Jeffrey Giguere. For their service, each will be given a Captain’s Chair. It’s expected Giguere will be welcomed back at board meetings as the 2015 chief of the hospital medical staff.
