Attorney Aldous McCrory has stepped down from Erlanger hospital’s board of trustees for “personal reasons,” the hospital’s board chairman said tonight.

Chairman Charles Longer said Mr. McCrory resigned from the board at the end of May.

“We are very grateful for Mr. McCrory’s energetic contributions and participation” on the board of trustees, Dr. Longer said after the hospital’s monthly board meeting.

Mr. McCrory, who was appointed to the board by the Hamilton County Commission, was not present at Thursday’s board meeting.

Dr. Longer said the County Commission is working to find a replacement for the trustee.

Erlanger’s 11-member board is made up of four trustees appointed by the County Commission, four by the Chattanooga City Council and one each by Chancery Court judges, the Chattanooga and Hamilton County Medical Society and the legislative delegation.
