Washington County Commissioners unanimously voted to appoint Vivian Pierce to the Washington County Regional Medical Center’s Hospital Authority at their Thursday, November 12 meeting.
County Administrator Dustin Peebles explained that Pierce has attended Hospital Authority meetings, and was recommended by WCRMC Hospital Authority Chairman Jim Croome.
“They think she would do a good job,” said County Administrator Peebles.
This is the second appointment to the Hospital Authority in two months. As previously reported by WACO 100, Commissioners voted to appoint Dexter Wansley to the Hospital Authority at their Thursday, October 8 meeting.
In addition to appointing Pierce to the Hospital Authority, Washington County Commissioners also made two reappointments to the Library Board, Randy Thomas and John Wilson. They will each serve three-year terms beginning January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2023.
In a letter to the Commissioners, the Library Board explained that Thomas and Wilson are qualified to serve on the Board.
