Commission approves amendment to fund interim CEO at Pratt Regional Medical Center
Summary
Commissioners approved an amendment to Beeler Consulting Services’ addendum to retain an interim CEO at Pratt Regional Medical Center and temporarily accept county responsibility for the interim CEO’s fees and expenses to stabilize hospital operations while a permanent solution is sought.
The Pratt County Commission approved an amendment to the Beeler Consulting Services addendum that allows Pratt Regional Medical Center to retain an interim chief executive officer and directs temporary county support for the interim CEO’s professional fees and related expenses, subject to terms in the amendment.
Commissioners discussed the need for an interim CEO while the hospital seeks a permanent executive, noting in the minutes that PRMC currently lacks the financial resources to immediately assume the expense. County members said the temporary county support is intended to stabilize hospital operations. Commissioner Rick Shriver moved to approve the amendment and Commissioner Thomas W. Jones III seconded; the motion passed 3–0.
The minutes record the Board entered an attorney‑client executive session to discuss the amendment with legal counsel and representatives (Jack Galle and David Eron Prelle) and reconvened with no action taken in session. The amendment as approved assigns financial responsibility to the county temporarily under the terms discussed; the minutes do not specify the dollar amount, duration of county payments, or an effective start date.
