Board approves pre-designated Home Health designee to act in CEO's absence
Summary
The Petersburg Medical Center Hospital Board unanimously approved a motion to pre-designate the Manager of Home Health, Chief Nursing Officer, or an approved designee to assume Home Health Agency Administrator duties if the CEO is absent or unable to serve.
The Petersburg Medical Center Hospital Board voted unanimously April 30 to approve a policy designating pre-approved individuals who may assume the full responsibilities of the Home Health Agency Administrator if the CEO is absent or unable to serve.
Board Member Joe Stratman moved "to approve pre-designated individual(s); the Manager of Home Health, Chief Nursing Office, or additional approved designee if applicable, to assume the full responsibilities and obligations of the Home Health Agency Administrator, the CEO, in the event of the CEO’s absence or inability to fulfill that role." The motion was seconded by Board Member Joni Johnson and passed with yea votes from Board Vice President Cindi Lagoudakis, Board Secretary Marlene Cushing, Board Member Joe Stratman, Board Member Jim Roberts and Board Member Joni Johnson.
The action formalizes interim authority for home-health operations, ensuring continuity of clinical oversight and regulatory responsibilities for the Home Health Agency. The board discussion and the motion text focus on specific job roles (Home Health manager and Chief Nursing Officer) as eligible designees rather than naming a single interim administrator.
The motion was recorded as a formal board action and will be reflected in board policy documents; no conditions or abstentions were recorded.
