Mr. Rick Ross of Kenai, was seated as a new director on the CPGH,
Inc. Operating Board, filling a vacant seat at the June 30, 2007,
CPGH, Inc. meeting.
Ross is a life-long resident of the area and served as a director on
the board from October 2003 to December 2005. He has been employed
as the Chief of Police and City Manager of Kenai and has served on
the Kenai City Council.
“I have a strong interest in the hospital as my family was one of
many that actively promoted its inception. My wife Gayle was an RN
at the hospital for more than 20 years and now volunteers there. We
have used hospital services as have our sons and grandchildren, and
I have previously served on the board and the strategic planning
committee. I believe we are entering a challenging and rewarding
period of history that I want to be part of, “said Ross.
In action taken at the July 26, 2007 Board of Directors meeting,
Resolutions 2007-98, 99 and 100 were passed amending the CPGH, Inc.
Bylaws to add a non-voting member to the board and appointing John
Hoyt as a non-voting member of the CPGH, Inc. Board of Directors.
“The board is grateful for the dedication and service of John Hoyt,
who most recently acted as the secretary/treasurer of the board, and
served from September 2002 until June 2007. Mr. Hoyt is taking a
new position with Wells Fargo in Anchorage and was appointed to the
new, non-voting seat based on his special expertise in banking and
financial services, and his executive level managerial experience in
the private sector,” said CPGH, Inc. president, Loretta Flanders.
One more seat on the board remains vacant. The seat was previously
held by Steve Hoogland, who resigned before being transferred by his
company out of state.
“Mr. Hoogland was appointed in
January 2000 and served through April 2007. We appreciate the work
Steve did in chairing the quality committee and his work on the
capital committee, that has been overseeing the hospital expansion,”
said Flanders.
The application process closes on
August 3rd for the open board seat. Interested parties
