Memorial Satilla Health Chief Executive Officer Dale Neely (left) speaks with P. Owen Herrin, Jr. last week during a reception to rename the hospital’s administrative board room in honor of Herrin, longtime hospital board chairman. The space now will be known as the P. Owen Herrin, Jr. Board Room. Herrin served on the hospital board for 25 years, and as acting chairman since 2007. “Owen’s leadership and guidance have been instrumental in shaping our hospital’s success over the years,” Neely said. “It’s an honor to rename the board room after you, and we appreciate all you’ve done for us.” Herrin has served as a community advocate for the hospital first as a member of the Board of Satilla Health Services, then Satilla Regional Medical Center. He helped guide the hospital through its transition to ownership by Mayo Health System in 2012 and again in 2017 to HCA Healthcare.
