Minutes of the April meeting were corrected to show Dr. James Furr absent.
With this correction the minutes were approved as presented.
Medicare-Medicaid Fees: Correspondence had been mailed to Board Members
showing that to withdraw from the provider status all one had to do was to
raise charges to over 50% of cost. Also, Dr. Finger told the board that
Mr. Felix Cooper, County Finance Officer, felt we are making a good move
in going to provider status.
Sewage Disposal Ordinance - State: A copy of the new ordinance recently
passed by the State was given to each member of the board for study. This
will be discussed at the June meeting.
Lead Screening Program: Mrs. West updated the Board Members on what is
being done in the Lead Screening Program and advised that there is need for
an ordinance for the Lead Program. This ordinance will be reviewed by the
County Attorney and mailed to members of the board for study.
-
Hospital Cafeteria: The department has recently been notified that employees
will no longer be able to eat in the hospital cafeteria between the hours of
11:00 A. M. and 1:00 P. M. Dr. Finger told the board of this development
since some of the staff was upset by the ruling. Arrangements have been made
for nurses working in hospital clinics to eat in the cafeteria on clinic days.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Approved: June 8, 1977
