Alva Hospital Authority approves audits, OR lighting purchase and other routine items
Summary
At its August meeting, the Alva Hospital Authority approved the consent agenda, accepted FY23 and FY24 financial audits, authorized purchase and installation of OR lights, and approved several personnel and policy items.
The Alva Hospital Authority board on Aug. 2025 approved its consent agenda, accepted two fiscal-year financial audits and authorized purchase and installation of surgical lights for Operating Room 2.
Board members voted unanimously on a series of routine and governance items after motions and roll-call votes. The consent agenda — which included approval of the regular trustee meeting minutes from July 22, 2025; finance committee minutes from Aug. 19, 2025; and the check report covering July 9, 2025, to Aug. 18, 2025 — was approved on a motion by Dr. Brown and a second by Dr. Simon.
The board accepted the FY 2023 financial audit after hearing that the auditors issued a favorable opinion that the financial statements fairly represent the authority’s condition, while noting internal-control deficiencies typical of small hospitals. The motion to accept the FY 2023 audit was moved by Dr. Simon and seconded by Mr. Bowman and passed on a roll call.
The FY 2024 audit likewise was approved following a motion by Iris Bohm and a second by Dr. Mossberg; the roll call was recorded as all affirmative.
The board approved two vendor quotes from Skytraum for dual Aurora 4 lights to outfit OR 2, at a combined cost of $27,357.22. The purchase was presented as equipment needed to open OR 2 for services and to increase turnover and throughput on surgical days; the motion was made by Dr. Brown and seconded by Mr. Bowman and approved by roll call.
Other routine approvals included: the credentialing committee’s recommended reappointment of William Elgarner, MD, to the courtesy staff in cardiology; acceptance of a revisions report dated July 31, 2025, regarding proof-of-discipline policy updates; and a bylaws review for 02/2025. Each item was moved, seconded and approved in voice/roll-call votes noted in the meeting record.
No contested votes or recorded no-votes appeared in the meeting transcript; the chair adjourned the session after completing the agenda.
