Foundation

The Love County Health Center Foundation serves the people by deciding each year how earnings from the Brannan Trust benefiting the hospital should be spent.

Bill and Bette Brannan and Claude and Jane Brannan, who had successful careers in the oil and cattle industries, created the Brannan Trust in 1974 to benefit the then-new Love County Health Center. The trust stipulated that the Love County Commissioners would establish the Foundation and appoint a Board of Directors from among residents of Love County.

The Board engages a fund manager to invest Brannan Trust funds.  It meets annually to disperse earnings income for hospital projects, equipment, and special needs.

Members of the Board of Directors are Arthur Rickets, chair; and Wayne Bond, Burl Bone, Willis Choate, Susan Cochran, Ken Delashaw, Gary Elmore, Brent Hartin, Ann Langston, James Moffitt, Nikki Powell, Lynn Puckett, H.G. Tankie Spivey, and Betty Wolfe.
