June 3, 2010:  Thirty-two Rotarians were present to hear Sunbury Community Hospital CEO Jeff Hunt’s presentation about health care reform expectations as it relates to the hospital. Bob Soper served as host.  The fact that 32 million more people will be insured indicates the increase demand there will be for primary care physicians. Insurance companies will be in even more control, deciding by quality indicators which providers to go with. Sunbury now has a call back program to determine patient satisfaction, does hourly rounds, has recruited new physicians and gone from a nursing staff made up of 65% agency nurses to 0 agency nurses. Prior to Jeff’s presentation, discussion and an affirmative vote occurred on the following: Couples who are members of the Selinsgrove Rotary Club will be assessed quarterly Rotary International membership dues for each partner; however, weekly dues for meals will be assessed for one partner only. The other partner will be assessed a meal fee only when both are in attendance at the same meeting.
