1. Kodiak Island Hospital Rate Increase.
moved to approve
Kodiak Island Hospital
rate increase as
recommended by the
Kodiak Island Hospital
Advisory Board.
Mayor Selby reported on discussion with Lutheran
Homes Society on a solution to the deficit problem at
the hospital.
The Presiding Officer asked for comments from the
audience.
Keith Vorachek, Finance Director of the Kodiak Island
Hospital, briefed the Assembly on the request for a
ten percent increase in an attempt to halt the losses
incurred. He explained the manner in which the
hospital was working to save money.
Discussion ensued between the Assembly and Mr.
Vorachek. The Assembly expressed concern that the
Hospital Advisory Board was not in attendance.
Dr. Brad Bringaold thought an examination should be
done to determine why the hospital was in the red.
He disliked an increase in medical care costs because
the increase would not provide better quality service
than what was already received. He alluded to the
fact that the increase did not meet any of the goals
outlined in Board work sessions. He also suggested
improved b111 collection.
Wayne Stevens, Kodiak Island Hospital Advisory Board
Member, arrived to answer questions from the
Assembly. The Assembly discussed with him the
deficit at the hospital and the reasons for the
deficit.
