Adair County Hospital Board elects new officers By Ed Waggener The Adair County Hospital Board, meeting Tuesday, January 28, 2014, with four members, elected Richard Grant as the new Vice Chairman of the Board and Brad Keltner as Secretary. The elections were necessary after the resignation of Neal Gold left the Vice Chairmanship vacant. Gold resigned December 31, 2014, to assume the role of Westlake Regional Hospital CEO, making him ineligible to sit on the board of trustees. All members of the board are now officers. They are Craig Pyles, Chairman; Richard Grant, Vice Chairman; and Bruce White, Treasurer. December not a pretty month, but January looking better The board had been warned that with the behavioral unit down two weeks in December that activity overall would be down. CFO David Hayes said that, in addition, many other medical facilities in the area were finding less demand for services, attributing the lower activity to colder weather and less illness, overall. But Dr. Chuck Giles, in response to a request to comment on the situation, said that he had had an average month at his private practice. CEO Neal Gold told the board that business for the hospital and its clinics are up slightly for January.
