Lamar County Rural Health Clinic Funding Work Group Minutes The Lamar County Rural Health Clinic Funding Work Group held a meeting October 14, 1993 at 7:00 AM in the Board Room at St, Joseph's. Those in attendance included Ron Ragan, Evelyn Freeman, Raymond Armstrong, Dr. Cutrell, Gene Anderson, Mike Malone, Mike Norby, T.K. Haynes, Deane Loughmiller and Jae Dickinson. The meeting was called to order at 7c15 and minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. T. K. Haynes asked if there was a law or a rule about single ownership regarding the Rural Health Clinic. Mike Norby said it is a hurdle in the application. Mike said he would not say it was impossible, but it is easier with just one. Evelyn Freeman said John Dembroski might be able to come down and answer the big questions about the Rural Health Clinic. Ron Ragan asked again who owns the Health Department. Mike Malone said in March of 1942 the land was deeded to the U.S' government to build the Health Department. In 1952 a county court deed showed the Government deeded the land and building back to the City and County jointly. Ron asked what about the equipment inside. Mike Malone and Deane Loughmiller said it was also jointly owned excluding the State owned equipment. Ron asked if it would be appropriate for this work group to take the issue of single ownership to the Rural Health Clinic board' Gene Anderson stated that single ownership might not be a problem. Mike Norby is going to check and see if single ownership really matters. Discussion regarding services offered at the Health Department not included in the Rural Health Clinic, Mike Norby said WIC is not under RHC but would have to be in close proximity to the location of the RHC due to State guidelines if a move comes about. Sanitation is not included with the RHC, Dr. CutrelI said it would probably be easier to move everything due to funding. Mike Norby agreed. Evelyn suggested making a list of questions and issues and then checking with Mr. Dembroski to see if they complied with Rural Health Clinic guidelines. Mr. Butler, told Evelyn that the State had found some money and that they were so pleased to see the City, County and two competing hospitals come together to form this Rural Health Clinic.
