very informative and covers several areas of importance that affect our health system. Our membership
provides a good return on our dues investment. Merkley currently serves on the AHA Small/Rural Governing

REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
From his report Merkley shared benefit open enrollment for all eligible employees took place earlier this month.
The health insurance premium will increase 4% to 5% in 2016. The health system will be absorbing 100% of
the increase and not pass it on to employees. This is the right thing to do for our staff based on our successful
year. Merkley also noted Project Joy was a great success this year; staff donated 329 toys/cash equivalent
versus 132 toys/cash equivalent in 2014.
CFO Report
From his report, Lindemann noted the Medical Health Information department has faced a few challenges with
unbilled accounts due to shortage of staff, therefore days not final billed (DNFB) will increase. Lindemann also
noted we are evaluating the Dietary Department contract with Sodexo and alternatives through PACE Premier
for future procurement of Dietary needs and food purchasing.
