Officials: Hospital ‘trending in right direction’ Written by Geoffrey Plant on February 26, 2021 As long as the state’s Crisis Standards of Care Plan and the elements of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s pandemic-related public health orders which restrict surgeries and procedures that hospitals may perform to only those considered ※essential” are in effect, Gila Regional Medical Center’s patient volumes and revenue will remain ※soft,” hospital executives said during the monthly meeting of the Gila Regional Medical Center Governing Board. Grant County commissioners took over governance of the struggling, county-owned nonprofit hospital last May after a mass resignation left the seven-member Gila Regional Medical Center board of trustees — whom commissioners historically appoint — without a quorum. The current Governing Board is made up of all five commissioners, who met Thursday in the Commissioners Meeting Room and livestreamed the proceedings on YouTube.
