PRESIDENT JAN asked us to keep the following in our thoughts and prayers:
BOB BROCK. It was great to see BILL HATFIELD at today's meeting!
PROGRAM:
JOHN SANDERSON introduced Terry Wilson, President and C.E.O. of Greater
Lafayette Health Services, who limited his remarks to five things important to
GLHS and the community. Quality - There is the potential to save 100,000 lives
through implementation of new systems. Technology - Information Technology is
being improved through paperless charts. New Hospital - Construction will begin
on Creasy Lane in 2007. Charity - The hospitals cost of caring for patients who
can't pay has risen from $6,000,000 in 2004 to over $900,000 in 2007. Medicaid
- The state is working to cover more people and spend fewer dollars. A Tobacco
tax is being considered to leverage more federal funds. Mr. Wilson left time for
several good questions.
