At Tuesday night’s meeting of the Russell County Hospital Board of Directors, the board unanimously passed a motion to extend a contract offer to former Russell County Hospital CEO Scott Thompson to return as CEO.
Thompson previously served as the CEO at Russell County Hospital for a little under two years in 2018 and 2019.
The hospital board met for more than three hours on Tuesday, with over half spent in executive session to discuss personnel on the heels of several special-called meetings where the board went into executive session to discuss personnel.
If Thompson is ultimately hired, he will replace former CEO Patrick Branco, who retired earlier this month.
