was not ready to move into the role of Chairman. A motion by Wicks to nominate Rob Jones as
Board of Trustee Chairman for the remaining 2010 calendar year. Johnston seconded the motion.

Committee Reports
Finance Committee:
Finance Committee met on April 25, 2010. Two action items. A bid opening for casework for
the Lab remodel project. The low bid was from Haldeman-Homme, Inc for $62,275.00. A
motion from the Finance Committee to approve the bid and in addition give latitude to the CEO
to go up to $80,000 should cost adjustments to the casework be needed during the installation.
Unanimous approval. The second action item is under new business.
Unfinished Business
Construction Update
Oberg provided brief update on the ED/Lab remodel project. The project continues to be on
budget. There are five phases of the ED/Lab remodel and the contractors are moving into the
second phase. The second phase moves inside the existing building. The outside walls and roof
are now erected, and moving into phase two, the interior walls will be taken down. An
anticipated completion date for the fifth and final phase is the later part of February 2011. Oberg
expressed appreciation to staff members who are working very closely with the project as they

Ambulance Service Building and/or Support Service Building
Oberg noted he was not ready to bring forth a recommendation. The recently purchased lot is
being evaluated to determine if it is feasible to build a second floor on top of the proposed
building that was being considered for that location. This recommendation feasibility will be
contingent on the number of parking spaces that are legally required by code which will be
researched. Other land options with land owners in the vicinity of the hospital were discussed.
Remodeling Projects
Oberg noted until operating profitability stabilizes conceptual hospital remodeling projects (CME
retail, Rehabilitation and visiting specialist space) are on hold. However, two small internal
projects are being analyzed for feasibility. If approval is obtained from the department of health,
a conference/office area may be recommended next to the current Private Dining Conference
Room and space in the materials areas could be turned into two offices.
New Business
Arlington Clinic
A motion from the Finance Committee to recommend to the Board BHS acquire the Arlington
Clinic practice from Amiel Redfish. The agreed upon purchase price is $40,000. BHS will
assume the Arlington Medical Center practice May 1, 2010. Nurse Practitioner, Tonya Froehlich,
pending Board approval of the acquisition, has accepted the provider position. She would be
overseen by James Walery, M.D. The clinic’s hours would be Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Wednesday’s hours would be 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. A grand opening event is planned in
mid-May. There was unanimous approval.
Spiritual Care Program
Concerns were addressed about the process that is currently in place when a patient and/or family
member requests spiritual council. Previously there was a part-time chaplain on staff. In the fall
of 2009 the job classification was discontinued and the organization moved to utilizing an
existing staff member with a master’s degree in social work to coordinate the team providing
services. Letters were received from two members of the ministerial community expressing
concern. Oberg volunteered to send an invitation to other pastors in the community to meet as a
group to address concerns from the community and report back to the Board.
Foundation
Kandace Hartneck introduced herself to the Board. She has a pre-med undergraduate degree and
has her Juris Doctorate from Minnesota. She is excited to be in on the ground floor of developing
the BHS Foundation. It is a new venture for the organization and educating the community is one
of her focuses. She discussed her ideas for the coming year with the Board.
CEO Report
Oberg noted in the near future he may bring forth a recommendation to join CMDI (Central
Minnesota Diagnostics Incorporated). CMDI is a member owned, not-for-profit cooperative
whose scope is diagnostic imaging equipment. Data will continue to be reviewed and presented
to the Finance Committee in the near future.

saving measures are being looked at throughout the organization. There was a lengthy discussion

finances need to be monitored but it is important to serve the community and provide good
service to those that utilize our facilities. Total expenses for March of $2,586,159.72. Payroll
and benefit expenses (excluding MRI and YEC) for March were $1,531,603. The charity write

place it on the next city surplus sale. Wicks seconded the motion. Motion approved
unanimously.
