For nearly two decades, Doug Carter has served on boards and committees for the Northeast Georgia Health System, most recently as the chairman of the Northeast Georgia Medical Center Board. At the end of the year Carter will step down, citing future opportunities, both personal and professional, as the reason.“I have basically made a decision that it was time to take a little breather from (the board) and there are some other, both professional and personal, opportunities I’m wanting to pursue, and, as you can well imagine, chairmanship of the hospital is a very time-consuming opportunity,” said Carter. “Even though I have absolutely loved it, there are just some of these other things that I really want to pursue.”In 2005, Carter, who also serves as president and broker of Don Carter Realty Co. and is the 2011 immediate past chairman of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, joined the medical center board after years of various services within the medical system.In 2006, he was named the chairman of the medical center board.“The last six years, as we are all aware, have been extremely intense with the growth of the hospital, and with that has been a tremendous growth in the responsibilities/opportunities I’ve been afforded through my chairmanship,” said Carter.
