Debby Brian was recently appointed by the Metropolitan Council of East Baton Rouge Parish to the Board of Commissioners at Lane Regional Medical Center. She replaces Pat Gauthier who retired from the board after three consecutive four-year terms.
A lifelong resident of Zachary, Mrs. Brian attended Zachary High and Louisiana State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in education, Education Master’s degree in Supervision and Instruction, and Education Specialist degree in Leadership and Technology.
Mrs. Brian has dedicated her life to education, having worked for more than 40 years at both the elementary and middle school levels. She is currently Principal of Northwestern Middle School in Zachary.
She and her husband, Randy, have two children, Kelli Cox of Zachary and John Brian of Tampa, Florida. They also have four beautiful grandchildren. Mrs. Brian is an active member of Plains Presbyterian Church and in her free time enjoys outdoor activities, reading, Pilates, and spending quality time with family.
“Lane has served my family and friends well,” says Mrs. Brian. “I've watched it grow from a small community hospital into a regional medical center that has everything we need right here in Zachary. I look forward to serving on the board and contributing to the future growth and expansion of Lane as Zachary’s premier health care facility.”
The Lane Regional Medical Center board of commissioners is comprised of nine board members. In addition to Mrs. Brian, current board members include chair Gaynell Young, vice chair Jordan Charlet, and members at large David Bowman, Dr. Doze Butler, Dr. Reagan Elkins, Donna Kline, Thomas Scott, and Darnell Waites.
