CEO Steve Henson then provided an executive update. He reported on efforts to improve communication with the staff by distributing the monthly executive update and the operations dashboard to all departments.

Mr. Henson stated that Sarah Tucker, RN, will be joining the hospital as of May 30th, as the new Chief Nursing Officer.
