Hospitals merge plans delay open heart center project
Dunmyer outlined ongoing construction progress at the new hospital wing with obstetrics targeted for early next year and surgical units by May. If PCH and BRMC merge, current hospitals would stay open until construction begins, likely years away, while a certificate of need for an open heart center would be filed after WVHCA issues new standards, with an October cycle possible and a three to four year potential open date after filing. The two hospitals formalized a joint effort in recent board meetings.

City panel taps officers for Ellison settlement panel
The city formed a panel to oversee Ellison's settlement after he was paralyzed during a 1998 arrest. A $1 million special needs trust was created under a consent decree by US District Judge David A. Faber. The panel will include an active or retired police officer and another member, with two outside seats. Citizens are invited to apply, detailing qualifications. Crabtree noted ongoing efforts to recruit minority officers, including advertising, though budget cuts have reduced department positions.
