The West Tennessee Healthcare Board of Trustees approved four resolutions that involved the appointments of Initial Advisory Board Members at West Tennessee Healthcare facilities in Dyersburg, Martin, Bolivar and Camden.
Dr. Lisa Piercey, MD, MBA, FACHE executive vice president West Tennessee Healthcare, presented the resolutions when the Board of Trustees held its monthly meeting at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, Tuesday.
“All four of my resolutions tonight involved appointment of advisory board members at the respective hospitals,” Dr. Piercey said. “Advisory board members are appointed by, and accountable to the district board.”
Dr. Piercey said at Dyersburg and Martin, the existing advisory boards, prior to the acquisition, were ratified for continuation of their service to those facilities.
“In Dyersburg, the board consists of a mix of physicians, community leaders, and business professionals,” Dr. Piercey said. “In Martin, the board is primarily populated by local mayors, university representatives, and community members.
“The appointments tonight in Bolivar and Camden were to backfill open positions on their respective advisory boards, and the appointed members were all highly recommended.
“Advisory board members at our rural hospitals serve in a volunteer capacity to facilitate engagement and community input for local hospital operations. They play a vital role in these communities, and we are very grateful for their service to our organization.”
