Prairie Pine Medical Center reports revenue gains, service growth and debt schedule to commissioners
Summary
Luke Scribe, CEO, told the Murray County board the hospital added providers and services in 2024, enrolled about 200 patients in a new chronic care program the first month, reported year-to-date gross revenue of roughly $32.6 million and cash on hand near $10.2 million; outstanding debt is about $1.25 million, most scheduled to be paid off by Feb. 2027.
Luke Scribe, CEO of Prairie Pine Medical Center, gave a high‑level report to the board on hospital operations and finances, noting significant growth across service lines in 2024 and plans for master planning and capital investment.
Scribe said the hospital introduced four new providers last year and launched a ChartSpan chronic care management program that enrolled about 200 patients in its first month. He reported a five‑year capital budget of roughly $5 million and said the hospital’s year‑to‑date gross revenue was about $32.6 million, with cash increasing by roughly $644,000 to about $10.2 million on the balance sheet. Scribe said hospital debt is approximately $1.25 million, most of which is tied to a building fund from the 2013–2015 remodel and is scheduled to be paid off on Feb. 2027.
Commissioners asked about patient origin and turnover; Scribe said most patients were local but some specialty services reduced out‑migration to larger regional hospitals. He also noted the hospital’s annual critical access meeting and other regulatory requirements.
The presentation was informational; no formal board action was taken.
