OTHELLO — The Othello Community Hospital Board will meet at 4 p.m. today to discuss candidates for an open position on the board.
The seat has been vacant since March, when board member Gayle Bohannan resigned. It is one of two seats on the hospital board that will be on the ballot in the 2025 election. Chief Executive Officer Connie Agenbroad said the person selected to fill the interim position will be in the office through December.
As of Tuesday afternoon, no one had filed for the seat.
Agenbroad said one candidate has applied to fill the interim position, but that commissioners want to open it up for any other hospital district patrons that might be interested.
Applications will be accepted for 15 days from Wednesday, Agenbroad said. People who want to apply should submit a letter of interest to the hospital, 315 N. 14th Ave. Othello hospital commission seats are at-large, according to the Adams County Auditor’s Office, which means candidates can live anywhere in the hospital district.
Once the application period closes, commissioners will evaluate the applicants and appoint a replacement for Bohannan, Agenbroad said.
