Schwaegerl noted currently there are six physicians that have medical staff privileges at BHS who deliver
babies: Drs. Gudvangen, Hopper, Ellsworth, Eischens, Beireis and Warren. She noted all Registered
Nurses in the OB area have certifications in CPR, NRP, STABLE and AWHONN. In October 2012, the

systems typically results in higher premiums. He indicated next year we would start the evaluation
process earlier to ensure the best benefits package possible for the organization and employees.
Employees received a Chamber Cash Card for their holiday gift.

Merkley indicated financially November was a very good month for BHS. December revenue is proving
to be even stronger, noting an increase in use of the operating room.
