Marcus Augustin and Nataly Sanley updated the Polk County Board on hospital operations on March 25, reporting that February produced both an operating and overall gain.
They said the spring health fair was well attended despite the weather and that Dr. Macy Miller participated as a new physician. A new sterilizer has been installed and staff training is underway. The hospital completed a flooring project and repaired emergency room doors after motor replacement. New cardiac rehabilitation equipment is being installed with training scheduled for the next two days. Two Mindray monitors have been ordered and staff noted nursing carts need updating to support the equipment. Hospital representatives said the laparoscope needs replacement at an estimated cost of $7,600. Because of low community participation, the hospital will not host the annual Walk At Lunch day this year.
Minutes do not record further financial details or a request for county funding for any specific equipment purchase.
