While County Legal Counsel Paul Dean reviewed changes to the contract related to acquisition of the CareArc facility, Greenwood County Hospital (GWCH) CEO Sandra Dickerson discussed the transition schedule with commissioners.
CareArc will be closing the doors of their Eureka location Feb. 29, they will then remove what equipment they are maintaining March 1 and GWCH staff will begin moving in March 4. While staff transitions to the new location, the Eureka Clinic will be closed March 4 and 5. Eureka Clinic is slated to re-open at the new location, 1602 N. Elm, on March 6. Dickerson noted that former CareArc patients wishing to continue medical care through Dr. McClintick (and Shannon Barus, APRN-C) will have to fill out a request for transfer of electronic records. Dickerson shared that most equipment in the building will remain. In regards to grant funds submitted for, to be applied towards purchase of the facility, a document is to be sent to GWCH and the county treasurer for signature. Grant dollars are estimated to be received within six weeks.
