Summary

At its September 16, 2003 meeting, the Beaver Island Rural Health Center Board reviewed finances, billing cleanup, staffing, construction, and emergency coverage. The new facility was reported as 52 percent complete, the truck raffle had met its $25,000 goal, Sue Solle had been hired as a practitioner, and the Board approved three new members. The meeting also considered mediation with the Concerned Citizens Group after weeks of conflict over staffing and Board governance.
