EDUCATION
Watson, Diagnostic Imaging Director for BHS gave a presentation on the many different areas in

The organization currently has a general radiographic room and a radiographic / fluoroscopy room; a
portable C-arm; DEXA scanner, newly purchased wireless, portable x-ray machine (the new technology
displays the image instantly with no processing film time); 16-slice CT (requested in 2013 capital budget
to move to a 32 slice CT); MRI; ultrasound and nuclear medicine. Currently a radiologist is on-site 4 ½
days per week with night coverage provided by Nighthawk. Merkley noted imaging has many capital
needs because of the advancement in technology. Watson was excused at 6:32 p.m.
GUEST
Olson, BHS Foundation President provided a quarterly update to the Board. She stated the Foundation
Board meets monthly. Current members are herself as president, Ardelle Roberts, vice-chair, Jason
Merkley, secretary and Bruce Lushbough. The original plan, as proposed by consult firm Hillary Lyons,
was to create six different committees (Major Gifts, Special Prospects; Annual Support, Community
Relations, Planned Gifts, Business Relations), the committee structure has been reduced to three
committees (Community Relations, Business Relations, Special Prospects aka Prairie Nightingale’s).
Olson noted with a new development officer, it takes time to cultivate relationships, but once
relationships are established the board of trustees will be called upon to do gift requests. Olson invited
the Board to a social with the BHS Foundation Board, the date has not yet been determined. Olson was
excused at 6:40 p.m. Discussion continued about what the Board’s role is to help facilitate philanthropy.

REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
Quarterly presentation to the City Council occurred. The Council was complimentary of the health
system. With a different concept of care for the nursing home, a consultant, Action Pact, has been hired
to help with the staffing plan for the transition to the new skilled nursing facility. The firm specializes in
skilled nursing facilities that have made the transition to the social/household model of care and staffing.
The Community Health Needs Assessment is progressing. There is a challenge in obtaining data from the
Department of Health, but the one-on-one interviews with community leaders and focus groups received
good participation and are now complete. Merkley provided information on Initiative 15 that will be on
the November ballot. The organization is creating a culture of giving. Two campaigns are currently
underway, United Way and BHS Foundation, with a pledge goal of $18,000 between the two campaigns.
Thus far, over $12,000 has been pledged.

The Building Committee met on October 11, 2012. There were no action items. Building project
continues to go well.
Finance Committee:
The Finance Committee met October 18, 2012. There are several action items. Due to the urgency of
proceeding with re-roofing the hospital building before the weather changed, an email was sent to the
entire board to electronically accept or reject the bids. There were six bids ranging from a low of
$130,656 to a high of $230,440. The Finance Committee made a motion to accept the low bid from MJ
Dalsin in the amount of $130,656.
Action: Al Baker, aye, Jim Booher, aye, Arne Brown, aye, Sandra Faltemier, no response, Debra
Johnston, aye, Justin Sell, aye, Julie Whaley, aye, Zeno W. Wicks, III, aye, Walt Wosje, aye. Motion

Another bid was opened after the Finance Committee met. A new freestanding chiller to provide cooling
to Brookhaven Estates. Since the current chiller lines run under the ED and existing nursing home, the
existing chiller needs to be taken off-line. Wagner assisted with the specifications and bids ranged from
$96,000 to $156,000. A motion by Wicks/Whaley to approve the low bid received by Prairie Sons in the
amount of $96,000.

directors started out at over $6 million and were reduced to $2,569,180. The Finance Committee is
recommending approval of the $2,569,180 in capital for 2013. Booher reviewed the major line item
capital budget requests and totals by department within the health system. The $2,569,180 is slightly less
than what was allocated in 2012. Whaley seconded.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
SNF Financing / Construction Update
Merkley noted the Town Center is the only area that remains to be enclosed. The other buildings now
have heat to continue working on the interior. Clark Drew Construction is doing a great job.
SNF Name & Survey Results
At the September Board meeting, each member was to provide one name of choice to determine the new
name of the nursing home. From a marketing and brand awareness perspective, “Brookview” should be a
part of the name. Merkley will take the naming suggestions to marketing and report back in November.
BHS/SDSU Athletic Scholarship
Sell updated the Board on the BHS Health Professions Scholarship in Athletics at SDSU. He noted the
scholarship criteria would include all health related areas. The first recipient of the scholarship was
awarded to Brittney Sip, a biology pre-med major. In the future, both the Board chair and CEO of BHS
will be invited to the scholarship event to meet the recipient.
NEW BUSINESS
Tour New Skilled Nursing Facility
The Board members toured the new skilled nursing facility. Much work remains to be done, but the
anticipated completion date is still planned for June 2013.
