During the Dec. 2 regular monthly meeting of the Guthrie County Hospital Board, the trustees reviewed budgetary data showing overall positive results.

According to CEO Chris Stipe, “Bottom line, we are outperforming our budget by more than half a million dollars thru October. Our bottom line after four months of the fiscal year is $1.1 million, compared to a budgeted $586,000. This includes contributions to the Foundation, tax proceeds and 340B proceeds. Cash continues to be strong with days cash on hand at 216.”

The trustees approved October financial reports as presented.

Medical staff credentialing was approved, and the FY25 Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) Plan was presented and approved.

A resolution was approved to set a Public Hearing related to projects receiving USDA financial assistance. The public hearing was set for Dec. 30 at 4 p.m. in the Todd-Neff Conference Room. That coincides with the next regular meeting of the trustees. The public is welcome to join in person or via remote technology. Details can be found at www.guthriecountyhospital.org.
