Interim CEOs to hold question and answer session

SUPERIOR – Later this month Mineral County residents will have the opportunity to meet the interim chief executive officers of Mineral Community Hospital and Mineral Regional Health Center to ask them questions during a series of town hall-style meetings.

The events, called Questions and Coffee, will be informal meetings held on November 19 and 20. According to Monte Turner, outreach coordinator for MCH, the meetings are very informal with the goal of giving the CEOs an understanding of the county’s community and their issues. Members of the community will also have the opportunity to get to know the CEOs and learn more about them and their plans for MCH and MRHC.

“Bring any questions and meet Larry [Putnam] and Cindy [Stergar],” said Turner. “That’s what it is all about.”

The meetings on Tuesday, November 19, will be held at noon in the Alberton Senior Citizen Center during lunch and another at 5:15 p.m. at the Superior ambulance arena. The meetings on Wednesday, November 20, will be held at noon in the Tricon Timber conference room in St. Regis and at 2 p.m. in DeBorgia at O-Aces.

Putnam is interim CEO of MCH and Stergar is interim CEO of MRCH. Both are native Montanans who have a love for small community health centers and health care. The two of them are working together to head up the organizations while the board of directors search for permanent CEOs.
