He says, “This was an incredibly difficult decision for me because I work with a very talented and dedicated team of healthcare professionals\u2014the administrative team, managers, employees, board and physicians are all dedicated to helping JRMC become the best rural hospital in the country.

Todd provided the leadership and vision that made that and other endeavors a reality.”<\/p>\n

Jason Carter — the grandson of the former president and Georgia governor — is planning to run for governor himself next year. He’s currently a Democratic state senator in Georgia.
