BROWNWOOD, TEX. (May 25, 2010) – Matt Maxfield, Chief Executive Officer; John Sharp, Chief Financial Officer; and Pam Craig, RN, Chief Nursing Officer of Brownwood Regional Medical Center (BRMC) have been honored with Outstanding Achievement Awards from Community Health Systems, one of the nation’s leading systems of general acute-care hospitals. The organization includes Brownwood Regional Medical Center and over 120 other hospitals in 29 states.
