            MOTION: made by Donna Osness, seconded by

            Sheryl Jacobs, to approve the Medical Executive

            Committee recommendations as presented.

            Motion carried.

Report on Anesthesia

Gene Meyer reported that he had met with Drs. Friesen, Lange and Roelofs.  Since Dr. Hyland has decided not to join their group, they have a 2009 graduate interested in Lawrence and they will be presenting an offer to her.  They also have a CRNA that could start in August.  LMH has been asked to assist with the signing bonuses. 

Gene Meyer reported on a letter that was sent to Drs. Lange and Roelofs regarding areas not in compliance with the contract.  Dr. Lange stated that they are addressing the issues and will have a reply back soon.  Information should be available for discussion at the August meeting.

Other

It was requested that information on BC Plan 65/Select be available for the August meeting.  Board members are receiving questions as to LMH not being a participating hospital.  This will be done.

Adjourn

There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned.

                                                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                                                        Verdell Taylor
