  4. LMH is working on Dr. Kumar’s J-1 Visa issues.
  5. Introduced Dana Hale and Connie Broers and thanked them for their roles.

 

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.
