The Lake Chelan Community Hospital Clinics Board of Commissioners have named George Rohrich as their new CEO beginning in December.

Phyllis Gleasman, LCCHC Board Chair called the search process "long" but that they believe Rohrich is the right man for the job and that his experience is invaluable. He's currently the CEO at River’s Edge Hospital & Clinic in St. Peter, Minnesota.

Rohrich says that he's very excited to join the team and that, "There are so many great things happening at the hospital and in the community."

The hospital passed a bond for a new facility back in 2017.
