Hospital board moves closer to physician recruitment plan

Tom Smith, chief executive officer and Kevin Cronkelton, chief financial officer of St. Luke Hospital and Living Center, were authorized by the board to proceed with a position recruitment plan.
An additional physician is being recruited by members of Marion Family Physicians. Information pertaining to benefits, expectations, and incentives must be available for prospective candidates to review.
