Medical College of Virginia Hospitals Authority. Changes the name of the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals Authority to the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System Authority and provides a mechanism for merging the MCV Hospitals and the physician-faculty practice. This bill provides that the Vice President for Health Sciences or the person who holds such other title as subsequently may be established by the Board of Visitors of the University for the chief academic and administrative officer for the Health Sciences Campus of the university will serve on the Board of Directors of the Authority and increases the membership by five physician-faculty members, with two physician-faculty members to be appointed by the Governor, two physician-faculty members to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates; and one physician-faculty member to be appointed by the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections. The new physician-faculty members must be faculty members of Virginia Commonwealth University with hospital privileges at Medical College of Virginia Hospitals at all times while serving on the Board. Staggered terms for the new appointees are provided by delineating different initial terms. The Chief Executive Officer of the Authority will now be the Vice President for Health Sciences of VCU. The Vice President for Health Sciences/Chief Executive Officer of the Authority will be jointly appointed by the Board of Directors of the Authority and the Board of Visitors of the University upon a vote of a majority of the members of each board who are present and voting at a joint meeting. The two boards will select and remove the Vice President/Chief Executive officer and set the conditions of his appointment, including salary.
