Writer supports Gary Hadley for MVMC board

Dear Editor,

In the upcoming election for which the ballots will be mailed out on April 19th , Gary Hadley is running for a three-year term on the Madison Valley Medical Center Board of Trustees, and I hope you will vote for him. I’m also a trustee and have appreciated Gary’s valuable insights on health care and business performance optimization since the county commissioners appointed him to the board in 2017 to complete the term of a trustee who resigned. Gary’s education and work history are impressive. Of particular interest, he holds both a Bachelors and a Doctoral degree in Pharmacy, has a Board Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy and is actively engaged as a registered pharmacist with 25 years of broad healthcare experience. He also has over 10 years experience leading, coaching and teaching quality and process improvement concepts and methodologies worldwide, and currently serves on the MVMC Quality Assurance Committee. According to the MVMC by-Laws, the board of trustees “has the final authority and responsibility for the operations” of MVMC, so it’s critical that those who serve as a trustee have the training, experience and temperament to fulfill that duty. Having served on the board with Gary over the past year, I’m confident he will continue to serve the Board, MVMC and you with distinction.
