Murray, KY – The first of three finalists for Murray-Calloway County Hospital's CEO is in town tomorrow morning for a meet and greet. From 9:15 to 10:15 David Brandon of Brookville, Illinois, will meet residents at Robert O. Miller Convention Center. The hospital board chose Brandon, Holly Adams of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Jerome Penner of Lewis-McHord, Washington from over a hundred applicants. Meet and greets for the latter two candidates are Wednesday and January 5. The Murray Ledger and Times reports Brandon is a consultant with Genesis Healthcare Ventures, Penner is currently CEO at Madigan Army Healthcare System, and Adams is executive director of operations at Oklahoma University Physicians and Children's Physicians. The hospital board plans to make its decision in early January. Brad Bloemer is serving as interim CEO following Keith Bailey's retirement in November.
