physician for the past three and one-half years. He is originally from North Dakota and did his residency
in Sioux City, Iowa where he met and recently married, this past August, his wife.
Deb Johnston was out of town and unable to attend this evenings meeting, but Baker summarized the
many accomplishments during her six-year tenure she was on the Board, citing her compassion for quality
and wanting the best health care for the community. Baker also noted the many undertakings the Board
accomplished during Johnston’s tenure. Mentioning several land purchases, acquisition of three clinics,
the remodel/expansion of Emergency Department and Laboratory areas and the inception of the new
skilled nursing facility now named “The Neighborhoods of Brookview”.
Baker clarified the committee structure to the full Board. The bylaws indicate three members are named
to the four main committees (Building, Finance, QI/Personnel and Strategic Planning) however; anyone

INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Merkley noted the three articles in the Board material were timely reading for the Board.
REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
Merkley called attention to the Medical Staff Leadership for 2013. Dr. Richard Gudvangen has been
named Chief, Dr. Rebecca Vande Kop has been named Vice Chief and Secretary is Dr. Shelby Eischens.
Merkley extended his appreciation, noting the roles require time commitment on all of their parts without
monetary compensation. Merkley then noted one of the key issues in the current legislative session is the
potential expansion of Medicaid eligibility. Governors and legislative bodies across the country are
tasked with the decision of whether or not to expand their Medicaid eligibility standards consistent with
the Affordable Care Act. Merkley noted if South Dakota Governor Daugaard proposes this, there would
be an impact to BHS, but the degree of financial impact is not known. Merkley will continue to monitor.
Wicks made a motion to authorize the CEO to come forth with an endorsement if necessary. Whaley
seconded the motion.
Action: Al Baker, aye, Jeremy Beireis, aye, Jim Booher, aye, Arne Brown, aye, Sandra Faltemier, aye,
Justin Sell, aye, Julie Whaley, aye, Zeno W. Wicks, III, aye, Walt Wosje, aye. Motion carried.
