The Board has signed a memorandum of understanding to form a joint venture with Duke LifePoint Healthcare. Under the terms of the proposed joint venture, RRHS and Duke LifePoint would share ownership of the hospital system. Governance would be shared equally between RRHS and Duke LifePoint, giving the community a long-term voice in RRHS' strategic direction. "Our board is excited to take this next step in securing the right strategic partner for RRHS, our employees, medical staff, patients, and community," said Terry Hines, Chairman of the RRHS Board of Trustees. "Duke LifePoint offers Rutherford Regional a unique partnership option that can provide us with clinical and operational resources to strengthen our hospital for the future, offer more opportunities to our employees, bring new physicians to our community, and enhance and grow our services." Duke LifePoint's joint venture proposal met each of the goals set forth by the RRHS Board of Trustees, including commitments to: Maintain and expand access to healthcare services; Maintain and enhance the long-term viability of RRHS; Provide depth in management support and systems; Maintain a local role in governance of RRHS; Enhance support for clinical quality and compliance; Develop & support new clinical programs that meet service area needs; Recruit and retain physicians; Protect employees; Make needed investments in technology, facilities and people; and Maintain support of the local economy Cindy Buck, Chief Executive Officer of RRHS, said, "The Duke LifePoint proposal features significant financial commitments to enhance quality care, patient safety and service lines that will allow Rutherford Regional the opportunity to better serve patients throughout our community. It is exciting to align with an organization that brings the demonstrated quality expertise of Duke and the extensive management expertise of LifePoint together to benefit our employees, physicians and patients. Our goal is to be an organization where our employees and physicians find purposeful, worthwhile work and our patients receive an excellent patient care experience every time. I believe with Duke LifePoint as our partner, we will achieve our goals." The retained assets of RRHS and the proceeds from the transaction would eliminate RRHS's debt, and the remaining assets would be used to fund charitable and community needs. "Duke LifePoint is dedicated to working with community hospitals to strengthen their operations, and improve their clinical and quality programs," said William J. Fulkerson, Jr., MD, Executive Vice President of Duke University Health System. "Rutherford Regional is a great hospital dedicated to providing quality care to its community. We believe it is an ideal fit for our growing network of hospitals and look forward to exploring this proposed joint venture further." As part of Duke LifePoint, RRHS would have access to nationally recognized clinical, safety, quality and operations experts. It also would have the ability to collaborate and share ideas and best practices with staff at nearly 60 peer community hospitals in 20 states through the LifePoint system. "At Duke LifePoint, we are committed to strengthening community care and keeping care local," said LifePoint Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William F. Carpenter III. "Our team is delighted to have been chosen as Rutherford Regional's strategic partner and have the opportunity to become part of its community. We look forward to working with the hospital system's leadership, employees and physicians to explore ways we can collaborate to advance healthcare delivery in this region."

There are so many now that drink from our feeders and the many flowers we grow. I love watching the hummingbirds as they buzz and hover, bombard and harass each other around the feeders; each one jockeying for the best position on the feeder. But recently, there was one male who was determined to be the only bird to drink from the feeder. As other little birds buzzed up, he squawked and flew straight at them, chasing them away. And as he chased one, another bird came up from a different direction. And as he chased the second one off, a third one hovered nearby, until he was trying to chase away about a dozen different hummingbirds. Of course, he couldn't. Try as he did, there was always some bird drinking on his feeder, doing what he didn't get to do because he was too busy fighting the others off. Are you too busy fighting others to enjoy life? There really is enough to go around. So relax, and make a positive life, not just a living today. FOR RENT 4BR, 3BR, SMALL 2BR. Quiet wooded park, Shiloh. No pets. 1st month + deposit. 828-2879734.
