The Cass County Memorial Hospital’s Board of Trustees met this (Friday) afternoon, but no decision was made on offering a contract of employment to a Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Instead, the Board held a closed session to hold a CEO Employment Contract Review and Negotiations. A decision on the hiring is expected during a special meeting next week.

30 people applied for the position left vacant by the termination on June 7th of Todd Hudspeth. Former CEO Pat Markham (whom Hudspeth had succeeded following her retirement) is serving as the interim top officer for the Cass County Health System until the new CEO is in place. The field of 30 applicants was narrowed down to six finalists who went through four sets of interviews with 25 people in four individual groups representing Board Members, the Administrative Team, medical providers and Health Department directors.
