ANOTHER TERRIFIC DAY....SUNNY AND HIGH OF 75.
MORE OF THE SAME FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THE HOSPITAL BOARD MET THIS TUESDAY AND SAY THEY WANT TO DUST OFF THEIR BUILDING PLANS AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT EXPANSION.
BOARD MEMBER DWAIN TRENKAMP SAID 85 PERCENT OF THE HOSPITAL'S BUSINESS IS OUTPATIENT BUSINESS. TRENKAMP BELIEVES THE BOARD NEEDS TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE EXPANSION PLAN AND MAKE IT MORE USER FRIENDLY FOR OUTPATIENTS. HE SAID THE TREND IS FOR OUTPATIENT NUMBERS TO INCREASE.
HE BELIEVE THEY NEED TO REVAMP TH THEIR PLANS TO ACCOMODATE THE CHANGES.
HE SAID THE HOSPITAL'S FUTURE IS DEPENDENT ON OUTPATIENT SERVICES.
HOSPITAL ADMINISTATOR CURT COLEMAN SAID THERE ARE PEOPLE AT GENESIST THAT CAN HELP REVISE THE LOCAL MASTER SITE PLAN. COLEMAN ALSO SAID
THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THE AIR HANDLER UNITS AT THE HOSPITAL WHICH ARE MORE THAN 30 YEARS OLD. HE SAID THE HOSPITAL NEEDS TO BE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT AND FOCUS ON OUTPATIENT SERVICES. THERE IS SOME MINOR REMODELLING GOING ON NOW AT THE HOSPITAL. THE S-H-I-P OFFICES ARE BEING MOVED TO THE FORMER PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICES AND THE MEDICAL
RECORDS WILL BE SHIFTED TO CARDIAC REHAB.
LAST NIGHT WAS THE DEADLINE FOR HOSPITAL BOARD FILING OF PAPERS FOR THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION. GLORIA JORGENSEN AND MIKE NICKESON
BOTH FILED PAPERS BY THE DEADLINE, TO KEEP THEIR PRESENT POSITION
ON THE HOSPITAL BOARD. SINCE NO OPPOSITION, BOTH WILL BE ELECTED TO NEW 6-YEAR TERMS.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CLICK ON TO "OLDER POSTS" FOR IT.
Perhaps you have forgotten about Vashelle's restaurant which is another new business that has recently opened in Maquoketa. We've eaten there several times and enjoy it. Great food, great service, and it is so nice to be able to eat a nice dinner looking out over the beutiful view of the golf course without having to have a membership. It's obvious that anyone and everyone is welcome there.
