Spectrum got the CEO $25,000/month money The three CEOs which Spectrum rotated through Columbia in the past 18 months did not receive the full $25,000 per month; that was just the gross charge from Spectrum to Westlake for supplying service of one (1) CEO. - EW Response to Mike Newton's letter: Comments re article 54043 For 25000 a month Klein should have been walking on water Cheryl Wall writes (to Mike Newton): Mr. Newton ---Cheryl Wall Thanks, Cheryl Wall for making the distinction. My story relied only on the information asked for and freely given by Mr. Richard Grant and Mr. Craig Pyles, Thanks to them for bringing a New Day of Openness and Transparency. I'm pretty sure Mr. Newton understood the distinction being made, but my apologies if the report were not totally clear on the matter. As I understood it and as you have clarified, the cost to Westlake for the three Spectrum administrators was $25,000 per month. Whether Spectrum gave Mr. Klein all the money they charged for his services, or paid him minimum wage, the real cost to Westlake, according to the estimates at the meeting, was double what it will cost the hospital for Mr. Rasmussen. My hope for Mr. Rasmussen is the same as it was for Spectrum when they first came to Columbia and seemed to offer such hope - that Mr. Rasmussen will do such a good job his compensation here will be at least marginally better than it is at any other hospital in the area, maybe handsomely better. Results are what matter. And now, we're seeing results and great hope at Westlake on a daily - sometimes hourly - basis. We also wish Mr. Rasmussen a long tenure. The most successful Adair County institutions - I can think of churches, first - have histories of long tenures for their leaders. Their roots are deep here, and it shows. When leaders have long tenures, they actually get to know their followers, far more than somewhat. We also wish you and every employee and staff member at Westlake the best, and a brighter future - and hope you and they are adequately rewarded in better times ahead in appreciation as well as pay and benefits, for the sacrifices you and they are making now. What Adair Countians always appreciate and are willing to pay for are results. But they know all too well that long "here's what we done lists," are simply excuses cloaking failure. They wish those people who offer up "I done" lists the best, but fervently wish they would get out of the way and let those who can do, do. That's why there's been such a turnaround in the hopes for Westlake's fortunes since Mr. Grant and Mr. Pyles came on board. - EW This story was posted on 2012-08-27 03:44:00
