Gary Drake has been reelected by his fellow trustees to serve as chairman of the Geary Community Hospital Board of Trustees for the coming year.

Drake has two years remaining on his term on the Hospital Board, but he made it clear this week that this next year will be his final year that he would serve in the chairman’s role. The Board officers are elected on an annual basis. Mark Stenstrom will serve as vice-chairman for the next 12 months, Jim Ruhnke as treasurer and Patty Maycroft as secretary.
