During the March 27 monthly meeting of the Guthrie County Hospital Board, the trustees heard from Cris Kuhns, bond counsel for the hospital’s upcoming construction project. She outlined the next steps in the process and the funding plans.
Regarding the upcoming fiscal year budget, GCH CEO Chris Stipe explained the ongoing process.
“We’ll be publishing a proposed budget,” Stipe said. “Whatever we put in the paper is proposed, because the board still has to vote on it, and we can change it.”
Foundation Director Dennis Flanery shared details on upcoming foundation events and voiced appreciation for corporate and local family sponsorships.
“We’re working on getting our golf letters out. This will be our 25th anniversary golf event, so this year we’re going to do a little something extra. More to come on that,” Flanery said.
Danielle Lauzon reported on strong patient satisfaction survey data.
“The ER score is just off the charts. Surgery is at 100%,” CEO Chris Stipe said.
The next meeting of the trustees is set for April 24 at 4 p.m. in the Todd-Neff Conference Room. The public is welcome to join in person or via remote technology. Details can be found at www.guthriecountyhospital.org.
