The end of 2023 brought the retirement of two of Witham Health Services’ long standing Board of Trustees, Jack Jones and Nancy Morton.
Jones served Witham for 28 years as a trustee and Morton served for 13 years. During their time, they also each served as the Witham Health Services trustee representative on the Witham Foundation board of directors.
Over their tenure they were involved in much change and growth at Witham Health Services. Witham expanded from one location in Lebanon to opening locations in Crawfordsville, Frankfort, Jamestown, Thorntown, Whitestown at Anson and Zionsville. With this new growth Witham was able to introduce new service lines and bring state-of-the-art technology and exceptional health resources. Witham now has close to 1,000 experienced and compassionate staff and more than 100 medical providers.
Its newest service lines include cardiology, endocrinology, hematology/oncology, nephrology, neurology, orthopaedics, pain management, rheumatology, sleep medicine, sports medicine, wound care, along with maternity services and expanded services in all primary care offices.
Witham welcomes new trustee Dr. Michael Hornbecker for the year. Hornbecker is an internal medicine doctor at Witham Health Services and a longtime resident of Boone County. He has over 12 years of experience as a doctor at Witham. He served on the Witham Foundation Board for eight years and has been on the board of directors for the Boone County Cancer Society for 11 years.
Hornbecker enjoys practicing high level primary care medicine in a smaller community setting. The fact that he is also a resident of Boone County makes his practice mean even more to him. He often sees three generations of a family and says it is a great privilege to take good care of those in our community. He is looking forward to addressing the ever-evolving challenges and opportunities ahead in his new role as a trustee.
“Witham looks forward to 2024 with an amazing group of dedicated team members who demonstrate they care deeply about what matters most to our patients by making each patient and member of their support system feel important, listened to and special — this is why Witham is the healthcare provider of choice for so many. Witham strives to serve our community by providing the very best patient care,” said Kelly Braverman, President/CEO Witham Health Services.
