A change is happening at the top of Sweetwater Hospital Association (SHA).
SHAâs Board of Directors and Scott Bowman have announced his upcoming plan to retire from his longstanding role of hospital administrator effective Jan. 1, 2021.
SHAâs Board of Directors selected Ian McFadden, D. Sc., to be Bowmanâs successor in the role of chief executive officer (CEO).
Bowman has previously been employed by Woods Memorial Hospital, Epperson Hospital, and Athens Community Hospital.
He began his journey at Sweetwater Hospital Association in May of 1976 as the assistant administrator and, after one year, was promoted to administrator. In 1977, Bowman, through a unique hospital-physician management arrangement, the first of its kind, was able to recruit medical specialties and sub-specialties to the hospital and community that are still in effect.
