BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Melvin Broadnax, RHG Board of Directors Chairman and Brian O. Harris, MHA, Chief Executive Officer

Melvin F. Broadnax, LLD
First RHG Board Chair
10/29/1929 - 04/08/2012

Rural Health Group’s visionary leader, Dr. Melvin Broadnax, was the soul of this organization since 1974 when Melvin and other community leaders decided that Northampton County needed health care. He worked tirelessly with the NC Office of Rural Health (Jim Bernstein, Burnie Patterson, etc.), politicians and local leaders (Jack Faison, Doc Brown) to make his dream of medical care in Jackson a reality.

Melvin was not just our first and only board chairman for close to 40 years, he was the impetus behind the Group’s dedication to the underserved. His compassion for others and his passion for equal access to superior quality health care have been the underpinnings of RHG and will continue to drive RHG.

The Rural Health Group Board of Directors meets regularly, generally on the fourth Thursday of the month. They have a board retreat each September and an Annual Meeting each October. The majority of our Directors are also our patients.
