Congratulations to David Polifka, Gove County Medical Center, Quinter on being named Trustee of the Year. In an effort to help others in the community understand the operations and financials of the hospital, Dave suggested a new financial reporting delivery to the Board that was easier to understand. Dave’s leadership was instrumental in conducting a community health needs assessment and the enormous task of updating the hospital’s strategic plan.
