The out- standing indebtedness of - these bonds is $2.4 million. “This is a historic moment for Cleveland County,” said CMRC President John Young, who will manage both facilities. “Our hope and vision for Kings Mountain Hospital is excit- ing and robust,” he said. His excitement was mirrored in the statements made by board members and the ap- plause generated when the final action was taken about 9:45 a.m. following similar action by trustee groups. Both J. C. Bridges and Scott Neisler of the KM board called the deal a “win win” situation for Kings Mountain and they made the motions to proceed with hospital integration follow- ing approval of the trustee advisory council. Other lo- cal board members Pat Trammell, chair, Joe Piedmont and John Sullivan concurred. “It behooves us to move with the times and to be able to compete and keep people closer home for health care,” said Neisler, who said that every time he sees the paint- ing of hospital benefactor Lottie Goforth on the hospi- tal wall he looks for a smile on her face. With the merger on January 1, the two hospital boards will consolidate into one board. There will be eight trustee council mem- bers from Kings Mountain and 12 from Cleveland Regional. The adopted resolutions state that with the new health care system, high quality, patient centered care and customer satisfaction shall remain driving themes for service delivery. The strategy of developing a sin- gle health care system in Cleveland County, with two primary acute care providers, is to: ie SOIR 9h +maximize clinical quality; customer satisfaction and ac- cess to care. +improve the clinical serv- ices provided to-€leveland County residents, through expanded centers of excel- lence in the acute care set- tings at both Kings Mountain Hospital and Cleveland Regional Medical center +improve local access by minimizing patients leaving the county and the system. +improve the financial via- bility of both KMH and CRMC. +assure that sufficient on- going capital investment is made at the Kings Mountain Hospital location, and the Cleveland Regional Medical Center location, in order to provide excellent acute care services and to maintain and grow market share in Cleveland County and the surrounding region. +assure that ongoing rou- tine investments and re- placement schedules are suf- ficient to maintain or enhance the competitiveness of Kings Mountain Hospital and Cleveland Regional Medical Center in the mar- ketplace. +assure that access to care is maximized by service offer- ings at both the locations, where sufficient volume ex- ists to assure clinical or fi- nancial viability. * AD Glob all/SAonline and surrounding areas.
