Greeneville
Chuck Whitfield
Runs independent not-for-profit hospital that in recent years has undergone multi-million dollar construction projects resulting in, among other things, Greeneville's first cardiac catheterization lab and a third medical office building. (Over $8 million in new equipment was also installed.) A member of the Rolling Hills Group, which, authorized by the Tennessee Hospital Association, launched in mid-2007 to develop a health reform plan in Tennessee that could serve as a structural model for other states and the nation. Whitfield and Laughlin were also key to the development of the College of Pharmacy at East Tennessee State University in nearby Johnson City (now in its fourth year of existence), pledging $100,000 to ensure a local solution for a regional need.
