Gambrell Attends Last Hospital Authority Meeting As Administrator

Stephens County Hospital Administrator Ed Gambrell attends his final Hospital Authority meeting as Administrator.

The authority met Monday night and for Gambrell, it was the last meeting for him before his retirement at the end of the month.

As the longest-tenured hospital administrator in Georgia, Gambrell has attended hundreds of authority meetings.

He said it is amazing how time has flown by.

“I think in the past 32 years, I have probably attended about 400 board meetings and I have been blessed to have some wonderful members,” said Gambrell. “Every one of them has worked for the best interest of the hospital and the community.”

Gambrell said those Hospital Authority members and their commitment is the main force behind the continued success of Stephens County Hospital.

New Stephens County Hospital Administrator Lynne Anderson takes over the top post in January.

She has already been on board for several months as the transition period has taken place.
