Childers mentioned that the Mee Memorial Hospital Board hired Mike Hutchinson as the interim CEO and he will be starting his duties on August 13. Childers also went into some detail regarding how they’re going to add on to their Greenfield Clinic which is currently at 7900 square feet and they're going to expand it by 5900 square feet.
