RPMH Election on the
Employee Health Plan,
which is done annually.
Other approvals were for
the Credentialing Files,
Quality Report, Medical
Staff rules and regulations,
a Trauma Designation reso-
lution, and recruitment for
an Orthopedic Surgeon.
In addition, a report
on the Foundation Status
was given, a topic which
has )een in discussion
since this year's Strategic
Planning retreat held in
April. Reactivation of the
program has been the cen-
tral issue, and a committee
met in June to look over the
Articles and Bylaws that
were previously in effect.
After some review, it was
determined that the sta-
tus is still intact and the
group can be re-formed,
though it has been inac-
tive for some time. The
board approved reactivat-
ing the Foundation Status,
and the next step will be
to establish and appoint a
new board which can seat
at least seven but no more
than twelve members.
Furthermore, a change
was approved in profes-
sional services which was
discussed at last month's
meeting. A discussion also
took 1 see on the board's
self-assessment — another
item presented last month,
which will be introduced in
further detail at the board's
Strategic Planning Retreat
next spring.
The self-assessment
assists the board in ways to
improve all aspects, includ-
ing the use of resources
to improve patient care.
The board was praised for
their decisions regarding
the recent hospital reno-
vations, and initial talks
began on the potential
of upgrading technology
within board meetings to
stay innovative.
The finances for July
2011 were reviewed and
approved at the meeting
as well. The financial state-
ments were reported as
very well for the month,
in that overall revenue and
total operating expenses
came out over budget.
Several departments fared
very well for the month
and overall, the budget
came within $700. Year to
date, the budget is within
$123,000, a great improve-
ment from the previous
year.
The accounts payable
and payroll, along with
the bad-debt write off, for
July of this year were also
approved. Additionally,
approval was also given
for the minutes from the
previous meeting and the
Special-Called meeting on
Aug. 22.

noted that Phase 1 of the
Facility Plan work is wind-
ing down, as approval
from the state should be
given sometime this week.
Because of the replace-
ments in air conditioning,
two A/Cs — which were the
newest before the renova-
tions — are now to be in use
at the Pioneer Museum.
Regarding marketing,
the Community Outreach
team met again and pre-
pared baskets to welcome
back the school year. Great
feedback has been heard
as a result and plans for
the fall and winter months
through Christmas are cur-
rently in motion.
Also, the hospital is
very close to recruiting
an orthopedic surgeon as
more contacts are being
made and continue. Dr.
Dennis, the local OB/GYN,
has had very good busi-
ness as 20 deliveries were
reported for July and to
date, August has seen 15
deliveries.
Updates were also given
from two previous meet-
ings which board mem-
bers attended. A recap
of the recent visit of
Senator Robert Duncan to
Sweetwater was given as
Well as the trip to the Texas
Hospital Trustees (THT)
meeting.
The THT meeting proved
to be very informative to
those who attended, and
a representative from the
meeting will be on site next
month to offer a presenta-
tion and positive improve-
ment strategies for the
hospital. The services will
come at no cost to the hos-
pital.

Haste makes Waste
We don't know who first said it, but nearly everybody has heard
the old adage that says, "Haste Makes Waste." Whatever is done,
must be done slowly and methodically in order for the thing done
to have lasting value and beauty. But, such is not always the case.
Take the time George wanted to write some music. George had
written music before, in fact music had been his life. He was a
master of opera, oratorio and various keyboard skills. He knew that
complex classical music arrangements required time and dedica-
tion, n order for all the various parts to flow together in harmony
and artistry. One day George sat down to write a score and, except
for sleeping and eating, didn't get up until he had finished the task
George wrote prolifically for twenty-four straight days and finished
a total 53 numbers, over two per day. This was unheard of. Would
it be worth listening to? Would people like it? You be the judge...
George's work was first performed in the public April 13, 1742,
and has since been by far, the most popular oratorio ever writ-
ten. In this case, we should be glad that George (George Frederick
Handel) drag his feet when writing
"THE MESSIAH"
