Summary

At a meeting held shortly before Easter 2008, the Beaver Island Rural Health Center reported that Medicare recertification had delayed service payments but that millage receipts were keeping the center operating. The center reported more than $31,000 for its Special Projects Fund and $35,000 for its Endowment Fund, improved Munson-linked hospice benefits, five new computers, a planned digital x-ray connection, and satisfactory inspection of its equipment.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper account of a health-center meeting, not a clinical record, Medicare file, donation ledger, equipment inspection certificate, or completed x-ray installation record.
