On Wednesday, Sept 11th, Murray County Medical Center’s (MCMC) Board held a special meeting/community forum concerning the management contracts being entertained by MCMC from Avera and Sanford. With more than 100 community members in attendance, we are very grateful for everyone who attended and shared their thoughts, feedback and questions regarding this pivotal decision. To maximize diverse input, the forum was a listening session, so no verbal questions were answered during the meeting. However, those in attendance were encouraged to submit their questions to be answered. The written questions with answers are listed below. Thank you again for providing your statements and feelings about these two organizations and MCMC. The board will be making a decision in the next few months.
• What are the proposals from Avera and Sanford?
o The proposals from Avera and Sanford were sent confidentially to Murray County Medical Center’s (MCMC) Board and MCMC is respecting this confidentiality. As shared in the Community Forum, MCMC is looking at the following criteria, data and input on what each of these two healthcare systems offer MCMC including but not limited to: Management Contract Cost, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System, Community Support, Employee Support, Leadership/Management Style, Clinic Services Offerings (E.G. – Outreach Services/Telemedicine) and Market Share Opportunities.
