One of the Medical Center's original
unit administrators, James G. Carter, has
been named administrator of Highland
Hospital in Asheville.
Mr. Carter, at Duke since October of
1969, moved to Highland December 1
succeeding Miss Carol Gregory.
Highland Hospital, a 125-bed
psychiatric facility, is a division of the
Duke Department of Psychiatry. Located
on an 85-acre hilltop site, the hospital
was given to the Medical Center in 1939
by its founder. Dr. Robert S. Carroll.
Announcement of Mr. Carter’s
appointment to the administrative post
came from Dr. Charles W. Neville,
medical director of Highland and an
associate professor of psychiatry on the
Duke staff.
Mr. Carter was one of the six unit
administrators who first carried out the
idea of decentr-alized ward administration
at Duke just over a year ago. His
responsibilities were for the obstetrics
and gynecology wards and the newborn
and intensive care nurseries.
Employes in the Ob-Gyn area honored
Mr. Carter at a reception November 30 in
the Carter Suite classroom.
Mr. Carter has a background in
business, finance, and administration. He
holds a bachelor's degree in business
administration from Morris Harvey
College in Charleston, W. Va.
For two years before coming to Duke
he was director of King's business College
in Raleigh, and prior to that he was
district manager of Beneficial
Management Corp.
From 1959 to 1963, Mr. Carter was
assistant vice-president of the First Union
National Bank in Charlotte.
He and his wife Betty have a
nine-year-old son. Clay.
