VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Thursday marked the final day for two members of Good Samaritan’s Board of Governors.
Mary Cay Martin began her tenure on the board on February 9, 1998, and Jim Zeigler started on April 8, 2003. Both have served as board president at one point in their tenure, Ziegler doing so from 2007-2009 and again from 2016-2021, and Martin from 2009-2013 and most recently served as Vice Chairwoman.
Through their over four decades of combined service, Martin and Zeigler assisted in guiding the hospital through CEO transitions, major facility expansions, the introduction of new care models/partnerships, and more.
“This has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had,” Martin shared. “I’m so grateful to Sherry Gregg Gilmore for asking me to serve and for supporting me throughout the years.”
Martin added that some of her biggest highlights were being voted board president, the construction of the Gibault Memorial, and the launch of the hospital’s Federally Qualified Health Center.
“I love this hospital and its commitment to the community,” Zeigler added. “People should know they can receive top-tier health care right here at home.”
Martin and Zeigler will be succeeded by Craig Kirk and Dr. Lance Payton who will begin in June.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Jim and Mary Cay for their entire tenure on our Board of Governors,” Good Samaritan CEO Rob McLin said. “For the past 15 years, they’ve been my ‘bosses,’ and I’ve been honored to work with two individuals who gave of their time to lead Good Samaritan toward our ultimate goal of providing world-class care through world-class caregivers.”
