Program:  Dr. Paul Nelsen introduced Douglas Guy, Interim CEO of CHN.  Doug has been in WI. for 18 years.  Born in Vermont, lived in Philadelphia.  Had retired but decided to help CHN in seeking a new CEO.  At the onset of his presentation, he didn’t resort to a “canned” program, but immediately opened  it up to questions.  First concerning the Green Lake co-sponsored Clinic with RMC.  He meets often with Tommy Hobbs and they hope to break ground in July for the facility.  His firm belief is that competition in health care, does not bring down costs.

                The mission of CHN is to provide superior services to improve the health of those they serve.

                                Doug has been at CHN since last fall. 

Next week – March 5 – Meeting at RMC – Green Lake Room.

                                         Lunch given by the Medical Center.

                                      Greeter and Prayer – Lori Rich

                                        Program – Pru Precourt – Tour the facility. 

Thought for today – Lord—when I stray from You, do not forsake me.  Stay beside me and guide me back onto the  path to You.  Amen 

                It’s much easier to make money, than it is to make a living.
