The Greene County Medical Center Board of Trustees met Thursday in regular session.

The Board reviewed the financial report. The month-to-date operating revenues for May were slightly above budget at $1,892,789 from $1,869,551. The expenses for May were below budget at $2,196,845 from $2,221,806. That left the hospital with a $152,794 net loss. For the fiscal year, the hospital is operating at a $2,768,960 net loss with one month left to go. Patient days saw an increase from April to May from 50 to 63. Skilled days saw one of the largest increases in patient volume from April to May of 50 to 108. Other monthly comparables can be found below.

The Board then approved the 2018 fiscal year budget with projected revenues of $23,021,861 compared to $27,803,568 in expenses for a net loss of $2,992,593. CEO Carl Behne pointed out that they are working on a three year plan to bring the almost $3 million loss down to zero.

Behne then gave an update on the transition with Aramark. The company has hired a new nutritional director who will start on July 6th. Interviews are currently being conducted to fill facilities director and environmental supervisor positions, due to recent retirements in those departments.

Finally, UnityPoint Vice-President of Marketing and Business Management Sid Ramsey told the Board that Greene County Medical Center is doing a better job than any other affiliate by promoting services on social media.
