Donald D. Sandoval, Ex Officio Member

Don realized his calling to the health care profession while he was still in college at Marshall University working towards his Bachelor’s degree in Business Management. Don went on to earn a Master’s degree in Hospital Administration from Duke University and has spent the past 36 years in this field. He was hired as a hospital administrator for a Wisconsin hospital at the age of 24.

Before coming to Angel Medical Center in July 2006, Don was the Dillon CEO for McLeod Health based in Florence, South Carolina. He has found the people in Macon County “warm and open” reminding him of his West Virginia roots. Don is also impressed with the physicians, whom he calls “very professional, very serious about their patients and practice,” and is grateful for the “very supportive” board. He sees the growth of the population and the growth of the retiree segment as “a positive trend for the community and hospital. I am committed to the growth and development of Angel Medical Center.”

Don and his wife Susie live in Franklin where he enjoys sports, movies, and reading.
