Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community
For Pay Period Ending August 17th
Guess we can close out the summer of 2024’s books: school is off and running and the Annual Foundation Golf Tournament is in our rear view mirror. Chiefs have already lost twice (thank goodness for pre-season) and at least forty college football programs still think they can win the National Championship – as today still precedes their first snap from center. The Summer Olympics are behind us with the US restoring global supremacy, at least with the overall weight of medals earned. We won’t talk about politics, the economy, or the November election, as those are way too unsettling for common good and sanity.
Another season with considerable highlights, and for a change, one with enough rain to still require weekly mowing, ugh. I want to congratulate the numerous CG locals who coincidentally had Alaskan trips planned and experienced this summer (with at least one other known family not going there until next week)! Guess it speaks to the ease of travel these days, even though I haven’t made it north of Manhattan. Lesson is: Life is good – just do it!
A couple salient vacations affected patient traffic through our doors this last pay period and that is all I’ll say relative to our green vs. red numbers. It is a new week and restoration is at hand. A new chapter in our 340B program is set to start in ten days and there is plenty of excitement about the new potential we expect to uncover with a new partner leading that effort – Macro Helix. More to be reported on that program after we see their model in work after a few weeks. We are excited for The Apothecary opening their new pharmacy in downtown Cottonwood Falls, which will help our Clinic’s patients in that community!
May I close with a thank you to our Board that recognized the good work you all do on a day in day out basis. They authorized the merit raise that hourly staff received in their paychecks this week, and I am also grateful to you for absolutely earning what we were able to give at this time.
And, thanks to all our staff who are daily mindful that our customers and visitors come first!
Kevin Leeper, CEO
