During the Oct. 24 meeting of the Guthrie County Hospital Board of Trustees meeting, Brian Green, representing the firm of Eide Bailly, presented the draft of the FY2024 financial audit report. No significant irregularities or concerns were noted.

The trustees discussed and compared costs of leasing (versus buying) the Panora Clinic building. No board action was taken at this time.

The trustees approved a reimbursement resolution allowing expenses incurred for the expansion project, prior to the issuance of the bonds, to be allocated to the project and reimbursed.

Medical staff credentialing and the report on September financials were approved.

The dates of the November and December board meeting were changed due to holiday conflicts. The November meeting will be Dec. 2 and the December meeting will be Dec. 30.

The trustees then went into a special closed session. After the closed session, the trustees approved the recommendation of the Board Executive Committee related to the CEO incentive and wage compensation.

The next regular meeting of the trustees is set for Dec. 2 at 4 p.m. The public is welcome to join in person or via remote technology. Details can be found at www.guthriecountyhospital.org.
