Dr. Dan Maultsby has assumed chairmanship of the Spartanburg Regional Board of Trustees.

A former senior vice president and dean of Wofford College, Maultsby will preside over the 11-member board and serve as a liaison between its community-based appointees and members of the hospital’s administration. Maultsby said the board is comprised of local leaders who are committed to the long-term health and vitality of the community’s not-for-profit healthcare provider.

“Many citizens volunteer within the hospitals to provide personal attention to make experiences of patients and families of patients as convenient and positive as possible,” Maultsby said. “These many volunteers, on boards and committees and in the halls of the hospitals, give generously of their time and talents and make essential contributions to the success of Spartanburg Regional.”

Maultsby’s board tenure has been marked by an attention to detail that will aid the healthcare system’s current growth, as well as its future adaptability, said Ingo Angermeier, President and CEO.

“Both our community and our healthcare system will benefit from Dan Maultsby’s steady hand; he represents a well-balanced mixture of leadership, wisdom, an understanding of health care and, most important, home-town pride,” Angermeier said. “We know Dr. Maultsby carries an extraordinary vision that will allow us to see new phases of strength and development.”

Maultsby succeeds Terry Cash. Named chairman in 2005, Cash will now serve as the board’s vicechairman.

“Terry’s fingerprints can be found on each of our major initiatives,” Angermeier said. “During his time in the chairman’s seat, Spartanburg Regional has experienced a true renaissance of growth. On behalf of all employees and community members, we thank him for his diligence and wise counsel.”

Spartanburg Regional’s greatest assets are a generous community and an army of strong, dedicated clinicians and administrators, Maultsby said, and that support is critical.

“I want to express appreciation also to the donors who have given generous financial support to our facilities through the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Foundation,” Maultsby said. “We are also proud of the performance of our president, administrators and managers, medical doctors, nurses, and other employees. They are qualified and dedicated to giving great care to persons in need of medical service in our community. And, finally, we thank the members of our county council.”

Appointed by Spartanburg County Council, members of the Board of Trustees provide oversight and set policy for the healthcare system.
