Hospital board reviews year-end financial reports
By Rich Wicks | Times Vedette
During the regular meeting of the Guthrie County Hospital Board of Trustees on July 29, CEO Chris Stipe discussed the financial performance for the recently ended fiscal year.
“It’s a heck of a year, you know, when we’re budgeting for a loss, and you end up with a $2.1 million gain for the year…expenses were a little high, but we had more activity, so we’re going to have a few more expenses,” Stipe said. “We grew in a lot of places.”
Chief Financial Officer Brandon Johnson explained that the hospital is looking to put funds into a new CD, and he plans to shop around to see where he can get the best rate for the hospital. The board voted to grant Johnson authority to perform transactions for any and all of the hospital’s financial accounts.
Stipe brought up the recent CrowdStrike global IT outage, and said that the hospital’s IT manager, Andy Huitt, had responded immediately and worked long hours to get the hospital’s IT functioning back up and running as quickly as possible.
The board’s next regular meeting is set for Thursday, Aug. 22 at 4 p.m. The public is welcome. For information on how to participate in the meeting, either in person or via remote technology, visit www.guthriecountyhospital.org.
