The KershawHealth Board of Trustees authorized CEO Terry Gunn to enter into negotiations and execute a potential emergency department professional services contract during its meeting Monday night. The 6-0 unanimous vote -- with Trustee Eric Boland absent, Trustee Bobby Jones needing to leave early and another unseat unfilled -- came after an approximately hour-long executive session at the end of an otherwise short meeting. The motion, by Board Vice-chair Dr. Tallulah Holmstrom, did not mention with whom Gunn will be negotiating -- a decision allowed under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act since the contract is not yet finalized.
