Crisfield – The Board of Directors of the McCready Foundation has appointed Robert M. Jones of Marion Station to the post of CEO following the retirement of Chief Executive Officer Charles F. Pinkerman on October 1. The foundation includes McCready Memorial Hospital, the McCready Outpatient Center physicians offices, the Alice B. Tawes Nursing & Rehabilitation Center and the soon-to-open Chesapeake Cove Assisted Living Center.

Board chairman Chris Sterling, who made the announcement, said that Jones has been affiliated with the McCready Foundation for eight years as a board member. He served as its vice chairman and three years as chairman as well as heading several critical board committees.

“Mr. Jones was instrumental in developing the foundation’s long range plan, including the construction of the new replacement facility for its original nursing home,” Sterling said. “We look forward to continuing progress and development in coming months as he takes the helm.”

Jones has a long professional history as an executive in the health and hospital field. He has held numerous administrative and consulting positions including with Johns Hopkins and a dozen other hospital organizations from Maine to Virginia.
