Executive Vice-President Fuller updated the Commission on the new accreditation company
for the Hospital.
Vice-President Fuller responded to concern voiced by Chairperson Hansen about the possible
sale of the Hospital in the future by assuring the Commission that was not their intent, but there is the

community hospital in an urban area has a very difficult time surviving these days.
