Dr. Pepito has served as head of emergency room services for the past four years and is responsible for scheduling of personnel in that area. At the end of the discussion, the Board voted to exercise a clause in the contract whereby either party may terminate their end of the agreement by giving a 60-day notice. After the 60 days, the contract will be rewritten to the Board's specifications. The group also heard a request by Dr. William Davison, representing Family Medical Center, for financial assistance in recruiting a new doctor. Dr. Melvyn Genraich has joined the staff of the Center and Dr. Davison was asking for funds from the hospital's physician recruitment fund to help with his support during the first year.
