Geary County Commissioners and the County Public Building Commission held a joint meeting Monday to approve shortfall funding for Geary Community Hospital. Alex Tyson, who chairs the county commission, said a $500,000 payment was authorized, with that funding coming from bond proceeds. Payments are expected approximately every two weeks.
The goal is to fund Geary Community Hospital operations until Jan. 1 when Stormont Vail Health assumes oversight of hospital operations.
