Feb. 22–ROXBORO — Person Memorial Hospital will have a new CEO on April 14.
Jamie Guin Jr. has been hired to replace Craig James, who left in September after six years in the post.
Attempts to reach Guin and hospital trustees chairman Gordon Carver were unsuccessful Thursday.
James left Roxboro to accept positions as vice president of Mountain States Health Alliance and CEO of Dickenson Community Hospital in Clintwood, Va., and Norton (Va.) Community Hospital.
Guin comes to Roxboro from Mountain View Regional Medical Center, also in Norton, Va.
Mountain View is a member of the Wellmont Health System, founded in 1996.
Wellmont, on its Web site, proclaims itself the premier health care provider in southwestern Virginia, southeastern Kentucky and northeastern Tennessee.
Guin has served as Mountain View’s CEO since 2005.
He previously was CEO of Williamson (W.Va.) Memorial Hospital and COO of Davis Regional Medical Center in Statesville.
He earned science and health-related bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Medical University of South Carolina.
In a statement issued through Person Memorial, Guin said he was attracted to the hospital because of the excellence of services offered to the community, the opportunity to live and work in the community and the hospital’s contract with Duke Management Services.
He is married and has a son.
Person Memorial was dedicated in 1950 and has been in the midst of a $14 million modernization program. The work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
