PRMC board recommends Beeler Consulting to assess hospital finances and operations
Summary
PRMC representatives told the Pratt County commission that the hospital board unanimously recommended Beeler Consulting for a two-phase engagement beginning with a roughly 16-week stabilization review; consultants said work "could begin immediately." Commissioners questioned the firm but took no formal action.
Tammi Smith and Bill Keller, representing Pratt Regional Medical Center (PRMC), told the commission the PRMC board unanimously approved recommending Beeler Consulting to assist with stabilizing the hospital's finances and operations. Beeler Consulting outlined a two-phase plan: an initial, approximately 16-week stabilization and operational review that would include immediate financial triage, operational improvements and medical-staff engagement, followed by an optional phase providing on-site implementation support. The consultants said the work "could begin immediately."
During the discussion, county and hospital legal counsel joined via Zoom and commissioners pressed the consulting team on experience and likely impacts. The minutes record no vote or contract award; commissioners and counsel continued questions and no formal action was recorded at the June 29 meeting.
