Kim Sanders was sworn in as the Worth County Care & Rehab Center’s sixth board member in July. She will represent West Union Township. She fills a vacancy which was created when previous board member Jeff Thummel did not seek reelection and nobody else filed for the seat.
The WCCC has received a five star rating again. It had gotten one a few years ago; low staff to patient ratio, low cost, and a high level of service to residents were factors in getting the rating.
At their August board meeting, the board voted to set the tax rate at 35 cents, the maximum allowed by law. Projected revenue for the 2018-2019 fiscal year will be $111,352.
On Thursday, the St. Joseph News-Press reported that Mosaic and SSM were in talks to sell St. Francis in Maryville, along with two other places, to Mosaic. It is not clear how that will affect the proposed deal between the WCCC and St. Francis to use the Activity Room for a medical clinic; they would be a tenant and pay a monthly lease. Mosaic has purchased the old Casey’s building across the street west from the Baptist Church and is converting it into a clinic of their own. Construction has already started.
