Summary
The board on May 28 approved minutes, reappointed Intermountain Tele-wound providers, renewed terms and officers, and adopted a trauma support resolution while reviewing April financials and progress on the hospital's new facility. A printing vendor error prompted corrected patient statements.
The Mountainview Medical Center Board of Directors on May 28, 2025, approved routine meeting business, including minutes and personnel reappointments, and reviewed financial and construction updates for the hospital's new facility.
Board Chair William Galt called the meeting to order at 3:56 p.m. Rick Seidlitz moved to approve the minutes of the April 23, 2025 meeting; Tanya Hill seconded and the motion passed.
Rob Brandt, the hospital chief executive officer, reported for Don/Quality staff that a nurse who worked last summer is interested in staying and that the hospital will undergo a state trauma review for recertification next month. Dr. Whitmore, speaking for medical staff, said swing-bed services remain busy, there have been no measles cases, providers are implementing an AI dictation program, and staff are preparing for trauma recertification scheduled for June 12.
Finance reported investment and cash positions for April: 1st Security $11,000; U.S. Bank $307,000; Merrill Lynch $993,000; a Merrill Lynch certificate of deposit $755,000. The board moved $750,000 from operations into a CD during April. New-facility work-in-progress draws totaled $300,000 in the latest pay draw and the project stands at about $8 million to date. April operating revenue included hospital receipts of $783,000 and clinic receipts of $53,000; net patient revenue was reported at $725,000 against expenses of $722,000. The operating profit was reported at $189,000 and net income at $229,000 after grant and investment income; year-to-date the hospital was $112,000 in the black. Utilization figures provided included inpatient days, swing-bed days, emergency visits and clinic visits; accounts-receivable days were 79 and days cash on hand 144.
On construction, Brandt said west-side footers are complete and trenching and east/middle column footers are scheduled for the following week. Foundation walls are formed on the west side; a site camera has been installed but is not yet viewable on the website. Brandt noted water observed exiting a foundation pipe tied to vapor-barrier work and said a pond on site is being held to allow sediment to settle before building a drain. He said a walkthrough with the architect, USDA representatives and Sletten showed stakeholders were satisfied with progress.
The board approved a medical staff reappointment recommended by medical staff and CEO Brandt for Intermountain Tele-wound providers; Seidlitz moved to approve and Hill seconded. The board also voted to retain the presented slate of terms and officers (term renewals noted for Bill Schendel, Shane Sereday, Rick Seidlitz and Cheri Bailey; officers listed as William Galt, Shane Sereday, Chris Schlepp and Rick Seidlitz) after a motion by Seidlitz and a second by Hill. The board likewise approved an annual resolution showing board-level support for the trauma program.
An information item noted that the new statement-printing vendor mailed initial statements that included the Barrett Memorial name and logo next to Mountainview account balances for roughly 180 accounts (an early alphabet segment). Administration reported that no HIPAA-protected information was released, corrected statements were reissued, and any payments will still be applied to the proper accounts.
There were no public comments. Rick Seidlitz moved to adjourn at 4:06 p.m.; Tanya Hill seconded and the meeting adjourned.
