McKenzie Health has requested $10 million from the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) as part of their budget for the 2024 fiscal year.
According to the report given to the BOCC, the total revenue over expenses for the health care facility was $843,929. This total included $10 million received from the commission last year, and without that amount, it would’ve lost $9,156,071.
Peter Edis, CEO of McKenzie Health, presented to the BOCC and said the greatest justification for the county’s allocation of $10 million is the growth and ongoing initiatives that McKenzie Health is undertaking.
