Governing Board

The Hospital is a governmental entity separate from other city or county governments and is operated by a seven member elected Board of Directors, from Hopkins County, dedicated to providing the finest patient care possible at the lowest possible cost.

Hopkins County Memorial Hospital believes that total patient care demands attention to the spiritual, as well as the physical and emotional needs of each patient.  If you desire a visit by your minister, your nurse will be glad to call him for you.   Clergymen of all religious denominations are welcome to visit at any time.  Hopkins County Memorial Hospital has established a Volunteer Chaplaincy Program in coordination with the Ministerial Alliance.  A volunteer chaplain is available by calling 4443 or speak with your nurse to request a visit.  After hours, contact the operator and ask to speak with the House Supervisor.
