Hospital Board Conducts Monthly & Annual Meetings

The Bradley County Medical Center Board meet November 30, 2017 and conducted several annual meetings as required and dealt with business for the month of November.   The members approved the past minutes and re-approved the bylaws of the Bradley Medical Foundation, Bradley Medical Services and Bradley Medical Systems.  Once these meetings were adjourned, the board took up the regular November, 2017 agenda.

Brandon Gorman provided the financial reports, the Home Health Statistics and the sales tax report.  He told the board that the hospital had a net loss of $219, 247.00 for October, 2017 and that the hospital continues to struggle with a low number of inpatients.  This has been a trend and the board is hopeful that the hosptialist program and other additions to the hospital's capabilities will result in more patients and that many of those who enter the hospital will be able to stay and get treatment without having to transfer to other medical facilities.  The statistics for some services were up.
