Settlement Quietly Sheds Light On RMH-HMP Pact
Ransom Memorial Hospital has saved about 46000 in past due management fees and severed ties with Hospital Management Professionals. Attorney Tom Bornholdt released a written settlement from the open records request, noting the agreement speaks for itself and that further comment was not provided. The pact ends the Brentwood firm’s contract, with only one term disclosed that Bob Bregant could return to Ransom if desired. The Kansas Open Records Law prompted public release, though the document restricts discussion among involved parties. Continued on page 7.
