The Let’s Go 5210 program led by Dietician, Katy VanderWal, is a nutrition and exercise based class held at the Boys and Girls club to teach children a healthy lifestyle and help decrease childhood obesity. This program also provides individual counseling to children and their families to encourage healthy lifestyle changes in the areas of nutrition and exercise. Also noted was the Care Transitions Coalition Team is currently working with the SDSU Pharmacy Student Association to provide community education on medications. Members of the Care Transitions Coalition Team work together to improve transitions of care between different health care settings including hospitals, home health, nursing homes, assisted living, clinics and pharmacies. The overall goal of the Care Transitions Coalition is to reduce unnecessary readmissions to the hospital. The coalition is our connection for what is happening in our community and medication education is a key component in reducing hospital readmission.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Capital Campaign – Small Groups/Interviews Merkley shared small group meetings have begun with several more to follow. The gatherings have included many people from the community with the consensus being very positive. Attendees have been impressed with the planning and the Case Statement booklet. Good questions are being asked surrounding the relationship with the City, Sanford, and Avera. Our community needs to know how successful Brookings Health System is as an independent health system. Validation from the meetings is that we are in a good place to be able to ask for support from our community. Renaissance Group Consultant, Josh Faber, will begin conducting one-on-one interviews the first week in March and will complete his community assessment report for the Board on the feasibility of a Capital Campaign. Hospital Expansion/Renovation & Financing Merkley stated much education has been done regarding the proposed opt-out; press releases have come out and both he and Toby Morris attended the City Council Study Session. Further research is being conducted to see if there are other financing options that may be available. It makes sense to look at all possible financing vehicles in addition to the opt-out. Both Toby Morris and Jack Arnold with Dougherty and Co. confirmed the cash reserves are important to maintain for possible use during the construction phase or for future unplanned capital projects. Meetings with HGA have been productive. Early stages of schematic design have begun. Involvement with the physicians will begin as the process moves along. Merkley also stated that he will be meeting with the SD Department of Health to review the plans and discuss what the project entails. A kickoff meeting with the City of Brookings is also in the process of being scheduled.
NEW BUSINESS Avera Dialysis Annual Update Merkley shared that he met with the Director of Avera Dialysis, Beth Plahn, for an annual overview. Patient load is steady at 15-17 patients with three shifts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They enjoy their location which is very convenient for the patients. Overall, everything is going well and with excellent quality metrics.
