Yuma District Hospital has been authorized by the board of directors to access up to $2 million of the district’s investments to help cover operations cost.
The move came during the YDH Board’s regular monthly meeting on January 24.
Interim CEO Ted Beckman made the request to board members Monica King, Mitch Korf, Delaina Klein and De Ann Rawson Sewell. Board member Robert Dorothy was absent.
It had been addressed earlier in the meeting when an employee voiced her concerns about the hospital district operating at a $2.5 million loss. She added she was anxious to hear where the the process is in regards to hiring a permanent CEO.
