The Union County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution on May 9 appointing Chris Boyd to the Union County Hospital District board to fill the unexpired term of the late Raleigh Hawk.

A county official stated the appointment will fill the vacancy left by Hawk’s death and the term expires June 30, 2025. A motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded; the transcript records a roll‑call vote with Commissioners Harville, Pitts, Miller, Bierstadt and Gould each recorded as voting yes.

No additional details about Chris Boyd’s background or duties were provided in the meeting transcript. The board noted there is at least one other opening on the Hospital District board and requested that commissioners and members of the public suggest candidates for appointment.

The resolution was approved by vote during the meeting. The board did not discuss any changes to Hospital District policy or funding during the appointment.
