CFO REPORT – Calvin Carey is not in attendance this evening. We are transitioning away
from Valley Health Resources at the end of the year. Jennifer Wilbur, ICFO will review the
November Financial statements that Calvin provided. However, they have not been reviewed with
him. Stephen McFadden asked about the CFO position and whether we will be posting for the
position. Mark replied that the money budgeted for purchased services has been moved into the
wages category for 2011. He sees the interim transition continuing for a period of time. Jennifer
reviewed the statements. There were 30 patient days for the month, 9 Swing Bed days, ER visits
were down, CT and Laboratory numbers were a little lower. CT and Lab numbers are influenced by
the number of ER visits. We’re seeing a trend of growth in the Physical Therapy department .

fee structure will be effective 1-1-11.
