JCHC Board Updated on Skilled Nursing Facility

During their regular meeting last week, the Hospital Board of Trustees got a brief report from Becky Rodriguez covering CEO Luke Senden, who was absent for the meeting.

The board discussed the Skilled Nursing Facility at the Veterans Home of Wyoming.

According to discussions, the JCHC will be recruiting providers that wish to provide care for the Veterans at their new cottages at the skilled nursing facility, and administration is working with the veterans home to set the structure for providing care.

Board President Mark Schueler asked for more information on the Veterans Home plans for the skilled nursing facility.

The timeline for opening the cottages is dependent on the veterans home having enough staff to serve the residents, according to the discussion.
