“My motivation for serving on the Mon Health Medical Center Board stems from my passion to leverage over two decades of engineering and technology expertise gained from my tenure at NASA. As a proud native of West Virginia, coming from a small rural community, I have witnessed the pressing demand for comprehensive, high-quality healthcare services in our state firsthand, which is why I am committed to contributing to the advancement of healthcare accessibility and excellence in West Virginia,” said Deadrick. “By serving as a member of the Mon Health Medical Center Board, I aspire to actively support Mon Health in being at the forefront of healthcare provision in the mountain state and ensuring that Mon Health continues to positively impact the lives of individuals and communities across West Virginia.”

“As a registered nurse for nearly 50 years, I have always had a passion for the provision of quality healthcare,” said Hodges. “I worked at Mon Health Medical Center, formerly Mon General Hospital, many years ago as both a staff nurse and then in an administrative capacity. Mon Health is known for its quality healthcare, strong community service, and robust employee relations. I hope to be an active participant in ensuring that Mon Health continues to provide the highest level of quality care throughout the communities it serves.”
