Schneider Regional Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Alice Taylor resigned Thursday, citing "personal reasons,” the hospital announced Thursday evening. No departure date has been set, but Taylor will likely leave her position by the end of the year, according to a statement from the hospital. 
The hospital’s governing board will meet next week to discuss Taylor’s resignation and begin planning an interim, as well as a permanent replacement.
In a statement to the hospital staff, Taylor said she has been "fully committed" to working with hospital leadership, its governing board and the community, "to uphold and strengthen the mission of Schneider Regional Medical Center to provide outstanding patient care and services."
She said she appreciated all the support she had received over the last year and a half. "I am certain you will continue to aid one another in collaborative dedication to high quality patient care and operational excellence. Each of you is part of an invaluable organization that serves the community and the region," Taylor said.
Cornel Williams, chairman of the district governing board, said in a statement that he accepted the resignation "with regret." "We will work closely with Ms. Taylor over the next few weeks to ensure that there is a smooth transition from one leader to the next," Williams said.
Taylor joined Schneider in April of 2010 after a one-year search by the hospital.
Wishing you all the best Alice! Hoping you can leverage your VI Government salary into bigger dollars!!!!!

My opinion is this:
Why are we constantly creating power struggles with good people who come here to help make things run better? Might our “we run tings” be the brick wall that they always hit?
We seem to constantly “shoot ourselves in the foot”…over these kind of issues.
Lets look at Spampanato (sp?) the Education Commissioner that didn’t make it through the Leg. process…I often wonder where would we be now IF we had allowed her “entry” into our often closed and small-minded “political” inside club?
When will we get that we are the enemy…”not necessarily outsiders”?
Do we not see that we have an “emotionally immature” approach to the critical issues we are facing?
Can we not see that unless we put down our “infighting and need to support this political lack of willingness to TRULY focus on our major probelms versus play the political game…that we are doomed to saty the course of Nowhere Land”?
This strats with some honest dialog…more conscious Leaders….at the least might we consider this to be the issue underneath everything else?

And…………another one hits the dust!
