New board members fill PMCs ranks, officers elected

With the addition of Marlene Cushing and Kris Thynes, the Petersburg Medical Center (PMC) now has a full board of seven, as well as new officers for the coming year.

Tim Koeneman was named board president and cautioned the board that they would have to lean heavily on Darlene Whitethorn, elected vice-president in her absence per her prior assent to the idea and formerly secretary, during the summer months when he is away.

“With kids and grandkids all in Juneau, there are vacation times when I’m simply not here,” he said. “I’ll certainly commit to a year. We’ll see what happens from there.”
