The McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital Foundation is honored to be named Business of the Year by the Oxford Chamber of Commerce. The award was presented at the Oxford Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Meeting and “Red Bricks to Progress” Awards Ceremony hosted at Hanover Reserve on January 19, 2023.

“This award is the accumulation of the hard work, strategic decisions and vision provided by the Board of Trustees, professional staff and our hospital and community partners,” said Tyler Wash, Executive Director. “Being an active member of the Chamber of Commerce is an impactful way for the Foundation to engage with the community we serve.”

The Oxford Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors selects the recipients from community nominations. To be considered for this award, nominees must provide a positive work environment and excellent customer service, promote the development of business in Oxford, be involved in the community and offer contributions to civic life.

This is why McCullough-Hyde is our official healthcare provider.”
