While Faircloth said that |
Chattooga Hospital rated com- |
parably to other hospitals |
around the state in the amount |
of accounts receivable,|
;Fenerally every hospital can |
ways do better in account col- |
lecting.” ‘
No irregularities were noted |
in the hospital’s accounts, |
Faircloth noted in response to |
a question from Authority |
Chairman Charles Williams. |
“Assets and liabilities |
amounted to $1,261,692 each in |
1986 and $1,202,408 in 1985, |
the financial report showed. |
The hospital's income or |
profit in 1985 was $133,282, |
the report indicated, and that ’
figure dipped to $75,526 in |
1986. :
The balance at the end of |
1985 was $465,141 and it total- |
ed $550,511 at the end of the |
1986 fiscal year. ‘
Operating revenues rose |
from $2,225,073 in 1985 to |
' $2,356,885 in 1986, the report |

study showed.
ALLOCATIONS
Pointing out that state
Medicaid reimbursement is
based on expenses, Faircloth
said auditors sought to allocate
as many daily costs as possible
to Oak View Nursing Home
rather than to Chattooga
Hospital. The state has a ceil
ing of $47.06 in daily costs, he
said, while Oak View's costs in
1986 amounted to $34.42, com
pared to $30.52 in 1985.
The nursing home's total
adjusted operating expenses
rose from $996,179 in 1985 to
$1,123,690 in 1986, the auditor
said. Total patient days in the
nursing home were 32,639 in
1985 and 32,650 in 1986.
Meanwhile, Williams noted
the presence of Billy Gilbert
and Mrs. Sherry Bishop, who
were apgointed to the Authori
ty by the August term Chat
tooga Grand Jury. They will
succeed Williams and Ira
Pollard Jr. on the Authority.
Mrs. Bishop and Gilbert will be
sworn in at the September
meeting.
DELAY |
Hospital Administrator !
Betty Wolstein reported that |
the State Health Planning
Agency has delayed until Sept. |
19 a decision on whether to ap
prove an expansion of Oak
View Nursing Home or a new
nursing home to be built on
Bolling Road by a Rome
developer. |
Polfard said he would like to |
see the hospital's emergency |
room sign on Highland Avenue
renovated to be more visible. ‘

SHRINE

National Shrine officials |
said the 6 gercent was com- |
parable to what the Shrine was ;
earning on other investments |
at the time — in 1978. i
NOT WRONG ‘
Gregg said the loans were |
not wrong and were no dis- |
ferent than any firm taking i
care of its employees’ moving |
or relocation costs, pointing |
out that the funds didp not end |
ug coming from funds destin- ;
ed for Shrine charities, such as }
hospitals. He also said the 13
employees were key workers
who could not be replaced in
Florida. |
Only one or two Shriners |
locally have expressed concern |
over the stories to him, Gregg |
said, and only one non-Shriner. |
He pointed out that the
Rome Sfirine Club sponsors the
annual Model-Pepperell foot- |
ball game in Rome each year l
with all net proceeds of that
event going to charity. Funds |
from tie game go to pay for |
hospital beds, crutches, doctor |
visits and similar costs for |
children in the area, including |
Chattooga County, Gregé said. f
“The Rome ghrine lub’s |
books are open to anybody who |
would like to look at them,”
Gregg said.
The Masonic order in the
United States also spends
$450-million annually for
charitable purgoses, Gregg |
said, adding that there are
3.5-million masons in the
nation.
