REVIEW OF MINUTES:
The minutes from the last meeting on November 23, 2016 were reviewed. No questions were raised. On motion made by John David Dwyerand second by Marion Phippsall were in favor, the minutes were approved.
FINANCIAL REPORT:
Lynn Poglajen gave the committee a breakdown of the cash on hand. Lynn reported the annual appeal resulted in an increase of $2,600 more than last year and employee giving drive increased by 15% over last year.
HOSPITAL CAPITAL NEEDS:
Mr. Wade presented to the Foundation Board a capital request for a Radiology project. This project will completely allow the radiology department to become digital. This will not only allow for faster clearer films but it will also ultimately affect our reimbursement if we don’t upgrade our system by 2018. The hospital had already previous requested $220k for the 2016/2017 fiscal year. In order to upgrade the entire radiology department, we are asking for an additional $80k to complete the project. After discussion a motion was made by Marion Phipps with a second by Jared Capps, all were in favor to commit an additional $80k for the hospital radiology project. This brings the total Foundation commitment to $300k for the year.
SPRING FLING:
Dates were discussed for the upcoming Spring Fling. Dates available at Westlake were also discussed. On a motion by Jared Capps and second by John David Dwyer the date of Saturday April 8, 2016 is the date set for the Spring Fling at Westlake Country Club, all were in favor.
There was more discussion about the possibility of moving the Fling to a different location or at the very least have the event catered. A sub-committee was formed: Connie Blackorby, Jill Boomer, Beth Steckel and John David Dwyer. They will look into location & caterers and report back to committee.
Beth Steckel said they had a potential theme – Casino night and the Department Heads could help with different stations.
