KRI asks commissioners for information about donated equipment and building ownership as ER timeline tightens
Summary
TJ Denning of KRI told the commission his organization has invested in the facility and needs answers about donated equipment and the pending purchase through 'Legacy' to meet CMS and fire marshal requirements and move forward with opening an ER.
TJ Denning, representing KRI, told the Bourbon County Commission that his organization had invested money and contracts to prepare a county facility to open an emergency room but still lacked clear answers about equipment donated to the county and the status of the building transfer. Denning said KRI was negotiating ownership through an entity he called 'Legacy' and that he needed signed and stamped drawings submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) by the end of the week to keep the licensing process on track.
Denning asked the commission to help facilitate discussions with Legacy and Freeman (a party referenced in the discussion) and said KRI has ongoing CMS inspections and fire marshal reviews even though the building has not yet transferred to their ownership. Commissioners agreed to assist and suggested Commissioner Clifton would be the point person to contact Legacy; the board asked staff to work to get Denning the information he needs.
