Trigg County Hospital’s front parking lot is about to undergo major traffic changes.

Following a special-called Thursday afternoon meeting, the TCH Board of Directors unanimously approved a bid of $82,434 from Rogers Group — giving go ahead for the creation of 22 new parking spots, while improving in the inflow and outflow of vehicles from the building’s face.

The decision comes two months after trustees originally approved a $91,500 from Rogers Group for the same project, but had to be scuttled to be more in line with state contracting measures.

In other hospital news:

— As efforts continue to purchase a new CT scanner, President & CEO John Sumner sought the board to approve new CT construction and installation not to exceed $65,000, and for one-month rental of a mobile CT scanner not to exceed $37,000. Both were approved.

— Don Michael, Chief Finance Officer, confirmed April brought with it a Year End Report for their fiscal term, but an audit and adjustments would verify it later.

April also brought with it more than 20 admissions and 250 patient days, with volumes up in ER, surgery, lab, radiology, behavior health and clinic efforts from this time last year.

Revenues for the month: $5,274,387, a 22% increase from April 2023, and most of that coming in surgery, CT and clinic. Michael said expenses for the month were also at $1.99 million, only 8% over budget, and the bottom line for the year is just north of $5.3 million.
