Retired Longtime MDH CNO Named Transitional Interim CEO
The McDonough District Hospital (MDH) Board of Directors held a special meeting Wednesday evening where they voted to appoint retired Chief Nursing Officer Wanda Foster, who was a member of the MDH Board of Directors, as the transitional interim CEO while the Board and search committee seeks a longer-term interim CEO. The Board also accepted Foster's resignation from the Board of Directors.
An candidate interviewed with the Board last week for the interim role; however, he withdrew from consideration, according to Board Chair Dan O'Neil. The Board will hold another special meeting on Monday, July 13 to vote on the terms of Foster's contract, as well as to take action on hiring a search firm to find a permanent CEO.
