COOPERTOWN – The Bassett Healthcare Network Board of Directors elected Douglas Hastings, retired chairman of a Washington D.C. law firm specializing in health-care law, as its new chairman during the annual meeting Tuesday in Cooperstown, the hospital system announced today.

Hastings succeeds Ralph H. Meyer, former Guthrie Health System CEO, who has completed his term as chair, but will remain on the network board.
