Phillips re-elcted board chairman

Businessman Rick Phillips has retained chairmanship of the board of directors at Oconee Memorial Hospital. The re-election of Phillips was announced after the election of board officers was removed from the agenda for the open part of this week’s meeting and placed on the agenda for its closed session. Other board officers are Cecil Turner, vice chairman; Sandra Jones, treasurer; and Corinne Cannon, secretary. Since the hospital became part of the Greenville Health System last year, the Oconee board continues mostly in an advisory role to the parent company.
