CEO Comments
Old Business:
1. Physician Recruitment - Still working on recruitment of another oncologist and have attained a firm to help with this.
2. LMH is recruiting another Ob/Gyn and working on agreement. The LOGS group is now expressing discomfort with bringing in another Ob/Gyn at this time so working through these matters continues.
New Business:
1. Baldwin City Family Practice Activity – Discussions with Dr. Jones and Dr. Hughes regarding the joining of the two practices in Baldwin City is ongoing.
2. Mt. Oread Family Practice Update – The Nurse Practitioner from Overbrook that was working with Mt. Oread has accepted a position in Hiawatha, KS. This will hurt the practice as far as Overbrook connections.
