Clinic Proposals

Kathy spoke on the clinic proposals. She would like to ask to get a recommendation to negotiate with CareATC and then get approval from the Board to negotiate with CareATC. This would help to get the ball rolling in deciding on what to do about a new clinic. We may need a subcommittee to include Facilities about the planning of the new clinic.

A motion was made Jim Demchak to request authorization from the Board Members to negotiate with CareATC to look at the feasibility and projected cost for a self-funded clinic. A second was made by April Riggs. Al in favor, non opposed. The motion carried and was unanimously accepted.
