EDUCATION
Angerhofer, Marketing Director for BHS gave a presentation on what has occurred in her area the past
year since she accepted the position. Marketing has two components, tactical and strategic. Both
components are critical to the success of BHS’s marketing plan. Her key focus areas currently are the
new skilled nursing home and quality. Angerhofer was excused at 6:22 p.m.
GUEST
At the June 2012 Board meeting a request was made from Brookings Economic Development
Corporation (BEDC) for BHS to consider their continued participation and involvement for 2013. The
Board requested BEDC come and present the donation request. Victoria Blatchford, current President of
the BEDC, and Al Heuton, Executive Director of BEDC, provided an overview of what the BEDC has
done the first 7 months of 2012. Heuton also outlined the four key focus areas of BEDC as well as a
preliminary health care industry development strategy. The strategy included a flowchart showing how
health care fit into the BEDC planning process and could potentially be rolled out for future discussion
and planning purposes. Heuton noted that although BEDC cannot create services in the medical area,
they can help grow the community, which will ultimately place needs for medical services in the
community. He indicated a recent survey was completed from businesses in the community. Based on
survey responses it is anticipated six hundred jobs will be brought to the community in the next 5 years.
Baker indicated with Merkley being a part of the BEDC Board he will be able to communicate directly to
this group the health care needs of BHS, especially since health care reform will play a major role in how
communities address the future of health care. Blatchford and Heuton were dismissed at 6:49 p.m.
A motion to approve the Brookings Economic Development Corporation’s request for $50,000 for 2013.

REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
Construction of the new skilled nursing facility continues to be on schedule. Board members will have
the opportunity to hopefully view a finished room next month. Several specialty outreach physicians will
now be providing medical services to the community, utilizing space at BHS. Dr. Brennan, an
5 of 7
independent allergist; Dr. Scott currently seeing patients at the Orthopedic Institute building, will begin
seeing patients at the hospital two times a month. A plastic surgeon, Dr. Howard, will begin seeing
patients in Brookings. There are two new physicians from Avera Medical Group Brookings. Dr. Teresa
Oey-Devine, a general surgeon and Dr. Andrew Ellsworth, a family practice physician. Both are
requesting privileges to the active medical staff at BHS. A joint conference committee meeting is
scheduled for September. BHS received a health information exchange grant. Howard, Huron and
Brookings, are the first three recipients to set up the health information exchange through a portal that
will be housed at the state level for information exchange for other entities to access. Merkley provided a
sample of the Health System Happenings. It is a communication tool that goes to all staff on a weekly
basis. This tool is discussed every week by all staff through gatherings at different locations and time
throughout the organization for 5-10 minutes. The information follows the five pillars that the
organization uses to drive its course. The five pillars are: Finance, Growth, People, Quality and Service.
The quarterly report to the City brought acknowledgement and appreciation of what the Health System
Board and management team is doing at BHS.
CFO Report
In addition to the written report, the results of the 3rd Annual Aiming to Inspire Health sporting clays
fundraiser on August 23rd raised over $17,000. Proceeds will go toward therapy equipment for the new
skilled nursing facility. Accruals will begin being set aside for potential payout to staff based on the
overall TeamShare scores. Since the beginning of 2012, both the financial and quality scores have
consistently maintained the highest tiers possible, thus anticipation of dollars being paid to staff will now
be earmarked. Results of the interim Medicare Cost Report audit resulted in the liability owed by BHS to
be reduced on a monthly basis. An adjustment has been made to more accurately reflect the Medicare
liability estimate.
Charity write-off for July was $1,427, bringing the year-to-date amount to $209,580. Fiscal year 2011

CNO Report
Hillestad noted the Maternal/Child Committee supports the Baby Friendly Initiative. This is a 10 step
program implemented over a four-year period. If successful, BHS would be the first OB unit in the U.S.
to complete. Hillestad commented that the Brookings Health System’s OB Unit is the only OB program
in the United States that has a post-partum doula program.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
SNF Financing / Construction Update
At the July 2012 Board meeting, approval was given to move forward on negotiations with First Bank &
Trust (FB&T) on the terms contained within the FB&T proposal. Merkley worked with Jack Arnold and
Toby Morris, from Dougherty and Company, LLC. Morris, via phone, presented the findings. FB&T
agreed to a slightly higher interest rate (three hundredths of a percent) for the primary deposit relationship
to stay with Dacotah Bank. Based on discussions with Brookings Municipal Utilities (BMU) and
Brookings City Manager, it was determined their projections for funding needs over the next three years
7 of 7
would allow BHS to enter into a non-bank qualified rate with FB&T with the assumption that the non-
bank qualified rate will be converted within the next 3 years to a bank qualified rate based on the City’s
debt issuance capacity. Morris was excused at 7:45 p.m.
Motion from Johnston/Whaley:
Move forward with the borrowing at First Bank & Trust at the no primary deposit relationship interest
rates. Also move forward with the non-bank qualified rate but to convert within the next three years into
a bank qualified rate based on the debt issuance of the City.
