Discussion was held regarding payment of Dr. Woodruff and <br />Kendra Proctor. It was stated that there would not be <br />money available to pay them in the Health Department <br />budget until Dr. Beachley's leave runs out. T.K. said so <br />that money would be available the Health Department could <br />let someone go. Last one in, first one out. Dr. Strom <br />asked if we were filing Medicaid. Anthony said yes. Dr. <br />Strom asked how much the County was paying for the jail to <br />be seen. Latricia said $100.00 per hour. Dr. Strom said <br />this is the perfect opportunity to get the RHC underway. <br />T.K. asked if anyone was being turned away. Anthony said <br />no. Dr. Kraft said he knew of two people who have been. <br />Anthony said that Dr. Beachley is slow. Gary Gunder asked <br />how fast money comes in from the State. Gene said the <br />time varies. Mike Malone said a budget for the RHC needs <br />to be nailed down. He also said there could possibly have <br />a cut in the budget. Gary Gunder asked if both hospitals <br />would be interested in splitting the cost to hire Dr. <br />Woodruff and Kendra Proctor to prevent having double cost. <br />Julie said as long as the split is 50/50 she didn't think <br />there would be a problem. T.K. asked how many people at <br />the Health Dept. have money coming from the State for <br />their salary. Anthony said all but Dr. Beachley. Julie <br />said the staff needed for the RHC is one LVN or RN if the <br />Health Dept. chooses to keep who is there and one clerical <br />person. Julie made the recommendation not to fill the <br />other RN position at this time. T.K. said he didn't think <br />the Health Department needed the last position filled. <br />Dr. Moseley suggested waiting 30 days to see who or what <br />might or might not be needed. T.K. said there is going to <br />be an evaluation made at the Health Dept. by both <br />hospitals to see who or what is or is not needed very <br />soon so why not wait until after this evaluation. Dr. <br />Kraft said he thought is earlier motion should take effect <br />March 1, 1994. Everyone agreed. <br />T.K. mentioned the idea to extend the Health Board by two <br />members. It was agreed that this is still premature. <br />Latricia asked how many Physicians have to be on the <br />Board. Dr. Kraft said there has to be one M.D., one <br />Veterinarian and one Dentist. <br />Anthony gave his monthly report. <br />
