District interviews for position

Following two rounds of interviews held on December 13 and 14, Point Roberts Hospital District commissioners are expected to make a decision on which candidate will replace district superintendent Barbara Waylan who retired at the end of the board’s regular December meeting.

The district received applications from five local residents, some of whom are recent transplants. The applicants are Sam Bansal, Dee Gough, Kimberly Kimerer, Oliver Nouripour and Chwynyn Vaughn.

Kimerer is currently working part-time at the clinic as a nurse while Vaughn previously worked for the clinic during the pandemic.

While applicants can be interviewed by commissioners in executive session, RCW 70.44.170 requires discussion and hiring decisions to be made during a regular meeting. The board’s next meeting will be held January 8, 2025.
