Summary
The board approved credentialing for several clinicians, reviewed a drop in the Manor’s CMS star rating tied to missing staffing reporting, and discussed clinic outreach programs and recruitment plans.
The Weston County Hospital Board approved credentialing for a set of practitioners and received operational updates on the Manor (nursing home) and clinic services.
Credentialing: The board moved and approved credentialing for Jillian Kennedy, MD (radiology); Kelly Randerman, APRN (family medicine); Roland Holcomb, MD (radiology); Bridil Brisk, MD (radiology); Matthew Husterland, MD (neurology); and Gordon Stewart, PA (emergency). The approvals were taken by voice vote following return from executive session.
Manor update: The Manor reported a census of 52 residents (about 89% occupancy) and a payer mix including Medicaid, pending Medicaid, private pay and VA. Staff said the facility’s overall CMS five‑star rating fell from 3 to 2 because nursing‑home staffing data were not submitted for a reporting period; staff expect corrected reporting to be reflected in February data.
Clinic operations and outreach: Clinic leadership reported year‑to‑date visits down from pre‑pandemic levels but recovering; the board endorsed a schedule of monthly outreach and screening events including free A1c tests tied to November’s diabetes focus and planned wellness activities through the year.
Next steps: Administration will continue recruitment and credentialing work, monitor the Manor’s staffing reporting correction and report back on any staffing or quality follow‑up requests from the board.
