Taylorville Memorial Hospital is getting a new Chief Executive Officer. Long-time C-E-O Dan Raab is retiring at the end of the year, and Memorial Health System has appointed Kimberly Bourne (born) to replace Raab effective January First.

Bourne told Regional Radio News that she grew up in rural Christian County, so she knows the service the hospital has provided very well.
