Methodist Rehabilitation Center Leadership
MRC has named Sam Lane of Jackson as chair of the board of trustees. He is Chief Development Officer for First Commercial Bank, which he co-founded in 2000 after decades of banking experience.
Lane became intimately aware of MRC's capabilities in 2007. His son Samuel became an MRC patient after suffering a life-threatening brain injury while a student at the University of Georgia.
The experience led Lane to become involved with the Wilson Research Foundation. Since joining the foundation's board in 2008, he has helped raise over $10 million for research, education and technology needs at MRC.
Justin Peterson of Jackson joined the Board of Trustees in 2023 and serves on the Executive Committee. Justin is President of StateStreet Group, a real estate development and investment firm with market experience throughout the Southeast. He graduated from Wake Forest University and received his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Virginia. He is also a Trustee of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, a board member of the Eudora Welty Foundation and the Lefleur East Business Improvement District, and a member of Galloway United Methodist Church.
Mike P. Sturdivant Jr, serves as treasurer. A board member since 1979, Sturdivant has a Bachelor of Arts in business from Millsaps College and a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard Business School. He is part owner of Due West Plantation, a family-owned farming operation in Glendora.
