\nHospital Authority\n<\/h3>\nAs a public hospital, an eight-member Hospital Authority governs SGMC. Both the City Council of Valdosta and the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners appoints the representatives who serve on the Authority. Each group appoints four representatives who each serve a 5-year term. Authority members are community leaders who serve the hospital voluntarily. It’s a labor-intensive job for which no Authority member receives any monetary compensation.\n

\nIn terms of governance, the Authority has the ultimate decision-making ability when it comes to the hospital. The Authority is subject to the Hospital Authorities Law of the Code of Georgia.\n<\/p>\n

\nNotification of Open Meeting of the Hospital Authority\n<\/h4>\nRegularly scheduled meetings of Hospital Authority occur on the third Wednesday of each month at 9:30am in the SGMC Executive Board Room unless otherwise posted.\n

\nHere I’ve annotated the list from the Board’s website with\npictures and some additional information of the sort that maybe\nthe Authority would like to put on its website so we the taxpayers\nwould know.\n<\/p>\n\n\n
