South Georgia Medical Center announces Bart Stockard as the Director of Environmental Services. Stockard started with SGMC in March of 2021.
This position will oversee and direct the day-to-day operations of housekeeping and linen services to ensure a clean and safe environment. Stockard will additionally ensure a high quality standard of housekeeping and linen care by keeping the department informed on the immediate condition of all assigned areas through training, supervision and motivation for all SGMC campuses.
Stockard attended Upper Iowa University and started his management career in healthcare in 1988. He has managed various departments including Food Services, Clinical Dietetics, Environmental Services, Laundry, Security, Grounds, Transportation and Translation Services.
Stockard believes that support services departments have the opportunity to impact the entire organization and is looking forward to driving positive outcomes with SGMC.
“What excites me about working with South Georgia Medical Center is the people, the culture and the direction the organization is headed. During my first days at SGMC before deciding if this is where I wanted to be, I was assigned to help implement the EVS programs. Without anyone in the organization knowing who I was or what role I held I found everyone to be friendly, courteous, welcoming and engaging. It was encouraging and a breath of fresh air to see Human Kindness exist. The Senior Leadership Team has a clear vision of where SGMC can be in the future. I’m excited to a part of that journey,” states Stockard.
Stockard is married to Sandra and together they have four children.
