Geary Community Hospital Interim CEO Margaret Grismer said this week that Stormont Vail Regional Health intends to offer a compensation package to all of the GCH "employed physicians at this point and give them the opportunity to join their team. " Grismer confirmed that will be up to the doctors on whether to accept the offers.
This information was provided as Geary Community Hospital and Stormont Vail Regional Health Center officials work toward a potential future agreement where Stormont Vail would oversee GCH operations.
Grismer explained the doctors from Geary Community will go through a process with Stormont Vail. "It's an opportunity for them to meet one on one with the physicians and take them through the process that they do with all of their employed physicians. " Grismer added that they want the doctors to meet the department chairs, tour the Stormont Vail facility, learn about their resources and give them an opportunity "to move their identity to one of Stormont Vail."
Grismer provided the update this week following a Geary Community Hospital Board of Trustees meeting.
