The hospital board has NO say in who the new CEO will be. The CEO does not work for the board. They are not picking the CEO. Why is this so hard for some of you to comprehend?

According to the thread the hospital was in the "red" with the prior administration. Now it is in the black and not close to closing. All new CEOs face challenges from prior mistakes being made by the previous CEOs. The proof comes from what the CEO chooses to do and act on. Isn't that right onlyinashe.

Well said, Only. My wish is that the Board will exercise patience and select the best candidate rather than rush a decision. I believe there may be a chance of finding a single candidate who demonstrates all those characteristics if the Board proceeds in a patient and deliberate manner.

The new CEO is going to have a mess to clean up, it may take two CEO's over a 3-5 year period to make the changes necessary. The first CEO will need to be tough but fair, not taking any guff and setting expectations for all levels of the organization, while prioritizing infrastructure and and growth opportunities. This type of turn around is very wearing on a leader, not every leader has the desire or the personality to conduct a turn around, but there are folks like that out there who enjoy the challenge and move from one challenge to the next.


Once the turn around is well established, you bring in the CEO who has the vision to build consensus, lead change and instill a value system that supports the mission of the organization and direction the Board has set for the organization.

If any of the good people that left can be wooed back this might be the last occasion.


Of course that's probably only going to work on people born in Ashe and for whom their salaries have not doubled elsewhere.

The witch is dead. Doesn't matter who or what killed her. Move along, nothing more to see here.

Let me explain something to you simpletons. No one from the board is posting on this thread. If you think they are, then you shouldn't be allowed to live on your own without adult supervision

Like it or not your anonymity is for sure on this site. We have been through this numerous times that the site does not collect ip addresses on anyone. Barneys from Yadkin county caused this to happen several years ago. So feel free to speak your mind without threats from a person behind the Gocarolina name obviously one of those liberal bums destroying America.

Hard to support a board that is willing to scoop this low even if they did want her gone for some reason. This thread just shows that they are no better than her.

I don't think sniping back and forth amongst ourselves is productive for the hospital. Ashe Memorial is set to have a new CEO, like it or not. We need to encourage and support the Board to instill a leadership team with the knowledge and experience to bring our hospital up to standard. A candidate who can only speak in generic platitudes isn't enough. They need a team who can construct a list of SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely) tailored to the economic and geographic setting of the hospital. The departure of the current CEO, while a positive step, in no way fixes all the problems. Years of competent and innovative leadership will be required to see our hospital be successful. Even in the best hands, Ashe Memorial faces serious obstacles. Can we at least come together to support the Board in choosing the best possible candidate to lead the hospital?

If I didn't know better, I would think that I am reading posts from a (small) group of 10-year-old bullies who are trying to overcome their own insecurities. Your attacks are without substance and border on being liable. If a lawsuit ensues from your comments, it will be YOUR name plastered across the front of the newspaper. You won't be anonymous then. How will you feel when your friends and family see your true nature? Coach Dean Smith once said, "One player's selfish attitude can poison a locker room and make it hard, if not impossible, to establish team work." Any board member who would stoop to posting comments on such a forum is doing a disservice to this hospital, this county, and themselves. Instead of heeding the comments of four or five individuals, the hospital board members should actually talk to employees of the hospital. Most of the people at the hospital are hard-working, dedicated individuals who are trying to improve the lives of our county's citizens while providing for their families. This forum is causing irreparable damage to the morale of the hospital employees. Is it your intention to destroy the hospital? Many good people dedicated their lives bringing Ashe Memorial into existence and helping it grow to meet the needs of our community. It is time for board members, hospital employees, and community members to step up and say, "ENOUGH!"

Sure is fitting that one of the old fraud's defenders has a criminal record

I don't work for the Hospital and never have......

Just remember the new CEO may well show you the door, so if you work at the Hospital, I'd probably stop attacking the other staff in this interim period lest you be found to be more a liability than a positive.....

I'm very secure in my job. I am not any of those you named. I laugh everytime someone starts trying identify others on this site. I do not rent either. I own my home as well.
