Board of Trustees

Washington County Hospital and Clinics is governed by a seven-member elected Board of Trustees. Our board members are local citizens with a vested interest in the health of our communities. These committed leaders are volunteers who generously give of their time and talents for a four-year term.

Board of Trustee meetings are open to the public and held on the last Thursday of each month beginning at 4:00 pm at WCHC in the Robert Nicola Conference Room.
