C. Dakota Medical Foundation Role: Gina and
Becky attended at meeting with Pat Traynor and Dr. John Hicks to discuss the
role that DMF could provide. DMF is requesting a 2 year strategic plan and
budget for Urgent Care program. The Board discussed the possibility
of outside assistance with doing a strategic plan. Some ideas were suggested: DMF would there be available through
the Impact Foundation to give assistance and at Concordia faculty has the
ability to provide strategic planning for a fee.
D. Proposed Budget: The proposed budget was
presented. Gina noted that there will only be two cost centers: Urgent Care and
Healthy Tomorrows. It was noted that the rent of $7200.00 was omitted from the
proposed budget. The revised proposed budget accepted.

there be in place an Urgent Care Advisory Committee: Brent Holman, DDS, Julie Nelson,
RDA and Becky Lommen, RDH will be the representatives from RRVDAP. It was suggested
to have Migrant Health be one of the consumer representatives to the committee.
It
was suggested to look for corporate sponsorship of Urgent Care: names were
Patterson Dental, Henry Schein, possible drug representatives, hospitals. The suggestions
will be taken under consideration.
