Jay Detarando and President and CEO Ed Moore.

Outgoing Chair James Waddick thanked everyone for the opportunity to serve in that capacity. “Harrington has been fortunate to have exceptional people serving as Members and Directors,” he said, “and, to have a visionary President/CEO who has substantially grown our Healthcare System and has assembled and developed an outstanding senior leadership team.”

Newly-elected Chair A. Jay Detarando thanked Members for their nomination and support, then went on to thank Waddick for his three years of service as Chair. “Jim Waddick is not the guy who looks for the spotlight or recognition,” he said, “but I’m going to give it to him anyway, for just a minute.”

“As you know,” he continued, “Jim has served as chairman for the last 3 years and has done it in a way consistent with the selfless approach he has used for many years serving our community, including the United Way, Rotary, the Chamber, and a local financial institution, as well as the Hospital to highlight just a few. He is always prepared and well-read and has always put the Hospital and the community before himself or any self-interest. He is a strong leader with tremendous business and life experience and it’s been rewarding serving under him. I would like to thank Jim for all that he has done for the Hospital, the community and for me personally.”
