Trustees approved a resolution authorizing the CEO to sign all necessary documents related to the TOPS cooperative agreement. The agreement lets public entities use competitively vetted contracts procured by participating public agencies, a mechanism the board said will keep the hospital in compliance with Oklahoma public-works competitive-bidding rules while avoiding delay in urgent projects.

According to the agenda and discussion, the roofing package included five scoped items: a $45,000 reroof of the West End Clinic; a $32,500 reroof (Roof 2); a $195,755 reroof for surgery/therapy (Roof 3); a $232,000 reroof for the hospital addition (Roof 4); and a $24,000 reroof of the emergency porch. Trustees were told Exterior Solutions Group participated in the TOPS program and that the proposed per-square-foot price was lower than the company charged last summer.

The board unanimously approved the TOPS interlocal cooperative agreement and the Exterior Solutions Group roofing proposal and authorized the CEO to execute documents. The motion to approve the TOPS agreement passed on a roll call with trustees voting yes: Hannaford, Martin, Bowman, Burke, Simon, Mossberg and Brown.

Trustees also approved credentialing actions: reappointments to medical staff (including a pathology reappointment listed as Holcombolo, M.D.) and reappointment of allied staff including Brian Nutter, APRN, family medicine. The credentialing slate was approved by motion and roll call.

Additionally, the board approved an annual review and revisions of several quality and emergency procedures, including blood bank testing and quality-control procedures, as part of routine governance.

Finally, trustees voted to enter executive session under 25 O.S. § 307(B)(1) to discuss employment and personnel matters; the motion to enter executive session passed on a roll call and the board moved into closed session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Alva Hospital Authority April 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board authorized joining the Oklahoma Purchasing System (TOPS) interlocal cooperative, approved Exterior Solutions Group roof packages totaling about $529,255, and approved routine medical staff reappointments and policy revisions.","taxTitle","Alva, Woods County, Oklahoma","taxId",70730,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6582352,"Sherry Medical Center reports tighter collections, ongoing March loss; board briefed on CharityCare policy and staffing",681,63000,744000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3102528-33a97499555622ce9ca2149bdac2b82b&start=63&end=744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3102528-33a97499555622ce9ca2149bdac2b82b/thumbnail_63000.jpg","/articles/6582352/Alva/Woods-County/Oklahoma/Sherry-Medical-Center-reports-tighter-collections-ongoing-March-loss-board-briefed-on-CharityCare-policy-and-staffing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6582352-7014f53198d658c5cbcaf12943ad4ce5/orig.mp4?Expires=1773078665&Signature=bZbJ-tZtZGfK9kLILO4wYx3Pue8YtHkkJn-Ju2uqJXgFsHRHWuLxf8UJ7uNCXzsQ5gmphTylwwf5vFNd3Il4dpVEAByGXRssoQHAH09nRZTatdDrG5AUj0LJ-rtIJ53nSFdQOzqQ0w33MOrzj4Rl3ub15MkeHYREhUMIS~WYL-RrN4l02wtVkErGntcyzs8K0yq~1u58jxUKVOPIYzpnsf0UtF0XPYR-n4toIVWkQl6rFRzLgZvJO9bCTluSQHkij9Ex4dNLzoPCFIaggkG8DmQqqOgKZ2j47-uVKd--plLH3N5IzrXoksd-09d3ToR8N9rtX2RiDeiUznfXQfebvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sherry Medical Center trustees on Monday accepted the CEO and CFO reports that showed improved cash collections and a drop in accounts payable, while hospital operations posted a net operating loss for March.

Candace, chief executive officer of Sherry Medical Center, told trustees the adult day program and supported living services are progressing and that the hospital is switching revenue-cycle vendors this summer after a five-year contract with TrueBridge. \"TrueBridge is knocking it out of the park right now in their last few weeks of service, amazingly,\" Candace said, adding that a new company is training to take over when the contract ends in June.

Kelly, the hospital's finance lead, reported an operating cash balance of $100,648 for March, equivalent to about 3.6 days of operating expenses. Accounts payable fell to $807,000, and the share of invoices more than 90 days past due is 31 percent; excluding invoices on deferred payment plans or approved payment arrangements, 13 percent remain over 90 days, Kelly said.

Kelly told trustees that gross patient revenue for March was about $2.48 million and that net patient revenue was reported at $894,974, a decline from prior months. He said patient days and clinic visits were down and that accounts placed with collection agencies in March totaled $86,544. He also outlined a national shortage of radiologists that is delaying radiology reads and holding up third-party billing for some claims.

On other financial matters, trustees were told the hospital is participating in a national class-action settlement with Blue Cross; the settlement amount discussed in committee was characterized as approximately $2 billion in total settlement funds nationally, though the hospital will submit routine paperwork and will not receive anywhere near that amount on its own. Kelly also said the hospital received a Medicare interim rate adjustment in February and a final cost-report settlement in April of $266,000.

Trustees were briefed on the hospital's CharityCare practice. Kelly said CharityCare was suspended for most of March while staff revised the policy; the revised policy will return to the board for final approval. On employee benefits, trustees heard that an IRS appeal reduced a previously notified penalty (originally about $206,000 plus interest) to roughly $6,000 after successful appeal work by HR staff.

The board heard that department heads have completed tentative budget meetings and that administration will bring a proposed budget to trustees no later than June. Kelly also said the hospital is implementing text- and email-based billing notices and that patients who do not want electronic invoices can request paper statements through registration.

The board voted to accept the CEO and CFO reports as presented.","Board accepted CEO and CFO reports showing improved cash collections and lower accounts payable but a March operating loss; trustees were briefed on suspended CharityCare, radiology-driven billing delays and an IRS penalty appeal that was largely resolved.","actionData","errors"]
