NORTON, Kan. – Norton County Hospital would like to invite anyone interested in learning about our local health care system to a community meeting on Tuesday, March 31st. The meeting will be hosted from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the basement of Prairie Land Electric Cooperative, 14935 U.S. Highway 36, Norton.

This is the rescheduled date for the meeting postponed in February due to inclement weather. It is the third meeting in planned regular community-wide meetings being hosted by the hospital to educate on the current status of local health care provided at the hospital and its clinic, Norton Medical Clinic, as well as allow administration and board members to answer questions posed by the public.

Gina Frack, Norton County Hospital’s CEO, plans to continue the dialogue by giving updates on the four focus areas of the hospital’s current strategic plan; those areas include Facility, Funding and Public Support, Recruitment and Retention, and Regional Needs.

The main presentation for this meeting will be provided by the hospital’s chief financial officer, Aaron Kuehn, who will cover the basics of hospital finance and what makes a rural hospital such a unique business.
