Two cardiologists have been interviewed. They have had one outstanding candidate who is now practicing in Texas. CC has mad an offer and LMH is supportive of this offer.
The LMH Endowment Association has been active and complimented Kathy Clausing for the contributions received from Dennis Moore’s office and the Kriz/Rice Foundation. A consulting firm has been hired to direct the capital campaign and will begin soliciting the first part of next year to be finished in 12 months with goal of $5 million.

Old Business

a) Strategic Planning Process – A report was provided that was prepared by Ray Davis, the Facilitator for the Planning Session.

b) Master Campus Plan Update – Discussion was held on the public impact of the plan in regards to mental health. Article in the Journal-World was discussed and Mr. Miller, mentioned in the article, met with Gene Meyer and Paula Dupigny-Leigh. The mental health issue is not a facility issue but a service issue with LMH not having psychiatrist on staff. There are a number of community organizations working on this issue and Paula Dupigny-Leigh is trying to stay in touch with them and also looking at national trends.

Surgical Suite - LMH needs to move forward at looking at a separate unit versus the current suite being renovated. Mr. Meyer would like an outside group to study this possibility for finalizing the Master Campus Plan. There will be more on this in January or February.

c) 2004 – “These Things Must Happen” Mr. Meyer reported that he would be adding paragraphs to this document on happenings and will be part of the January meeting.

The announcements were noted with attention brought to the LMH Endowment Annual meeting January 17, 2004.
