SUMMARY:Matt Merrifield\, Chief Executive Officer of Aiken Regional
DESCRIPTION:Merrifield returns to Aiken Regional after two years with Summerlin Hospital Medical Center\, a Universal Health Services (UHS) 485-bed acute care facility in Las Vegas\, Nevada\, where he served as Chief Operating Officer. Prior to Summerlin Hospital Medical Center\, he served as Chief Operating Officer at Aiken Regional for four years. “I’m excited to rejoin the Aiken Regional team and return to the Aiken Community\,” said Merrifield. “I look forward to building upon the expansion and achievements the team has accomplished in the past few years as we continue to focus on patient-centered care and expanding services and programs throughout Aiken and our surrounding communities.” \nIn this role\, Merrifield is responsible for driving the growth and performance of the hospital\, as well as providing strategic direction and oversight to help ensure the highest quality of patient care and safety. He is also responsible for driving growth among service lines and cultivating relationships with community leaders and businesses. \nMerrifield has more than 12 years of experience in healthcare leadership. He earned his Master of Business Administration from Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina and his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from West Virginia University. Merrifield and his wife and family are delighted to return to Aiken where they enjoy volunteering. \nMerrifield succeeds Jim O’Loughlin who is retiring from Aiken Regional Medical Centers after having served as CEO since 2019. With nearly 30 years of hospital leadership\, O’Loughlin played an integral role in helping expand Aiken Regional’s service lines\, enhance technologies offered and recruit advanced physicians\, and helping Aiken Regional receive several quality and safety awards and achieve operational success. We thank Jim for his dedicated leadership and we wish him all the best in his retirement. \n“I’m grateful for the time I’ve had in Aiken and with the Aiken Regional team\,” said O’Loughlin. “This hospital and community have been my home for the past 3.5 years and I want to thank each of you for providing me the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful team\, and I look forward to the amazing growth and opportunities you have ahead. I’m honored that Matt will be stepping into this role and am confident he is going to make a great CEO.” \nCONTACT US

SUMMARY:Rotarian Jim Marra\, Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness (CNTA) Executive Director
DESCRIPTION:CNTA provides education and information on nuclear technology\, including nuclear waste management and environmental remediation; energy sources; medical applications of radiation; industrial applications\, including food irradiation; nuclear production processes; and national security. Marra brings to the position a career filled with many significant jobs in the nuclear arena\, which gives him a great breadth of knowledge\, said Don Bridges\, CNTA Chairman. “We had many outstanding candidates\, but Jim Marra brings exceptional experience in nuclear work\,” Bridges said. “He not only understands the nuclear industry\, he works well with stakeholders and citizens. He will be an asset as we bring important nuclear information to the forefront.” Marra has a Bachelor of Science degree in Ceramic Science and Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics (Alfred University\, Alfred\, NY); a Master’s degree in Materials Engineering (Worcester Polytechnic Institute\, Worcester\, MA); and a Ph.D. in Ceramic and Materials Engineering (Clemson University). Marra began his nuclear career at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) as a Senior Engineer and progressed to the level of Advisory Engineer. He also spent time as a Senior Scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM).  Marra has numerous notable awards and achievements\, including the SRNL Don Orth Lifetime of Merit Award in 2015. His background includes work in radioactive and hazardous waste immobilization; nuclear nonproliferation; Fukushima Daiichi technical support; DOE-EM International Program leadership; International Atomic Energy Agency consulting; Hanford Waste and Immobilization Treatment Plant technology development and testing; Plutonium Immobilization Program; new production reactor for weapons materials; and production reactor safety rod development. Marra said he is looking forward to the new challenge of communicating the benefits of nuclear work because it’s important for citizens to understand. “Nuclear plays a role in our everyday lives\,” Marra said. “I’ve spent my life involved in nuclear projects\, and I know first-hand how much our country needs to keep the nuclear industry viable\, and that begins with everyone having a better understanding of what nuclear is and what it does. I look forward to working for CNTA to create a renewed focus.”  \nCONTACT US
