Committee approves $249,998 Hill Rom capital purchase for OR beds using Metro funds
Summary
The committee approved a $249,998 capital purchase from Hill Rom for replacement operating-room beds and attachments, financed from a previously allocated $7 million Metro government capital appropriation; staff will include a capital-spending schedule in the next financial packet.
Dr. Josh Baxter, director of perioperative services, presented a capital request to purchase Hill Rom operating-room beds and 73 attachments at a total of $249,998. Baxter said the beds had reached end of life and that the purchase is intended to support surgical services.
Board members asked how the Metro government capital allocation (the $7 million referenced for FY25) is tracked in financial reporting. Financial staff (Dr. Blackledge and others) said there is a separate capital budget and that capital invoices will be submitted and funds transferred for processing. Staff agreed to include a capital-schedule summary showing allocations, invoices received and remaining funds in the board’s financial packet next month. The committee moved, seconded and approved the Hill Rom purchase.
