Steve Roach gave a demonstration on ClubRunner. For those of you who do not know and been out of the loop…Our Club is Going to ClubRunner.

 

All members have received an email from Steve Roach giving a link portal.clubrunner.ca/2815 to ClubRunner to sign-up for the Member Login.  It’s really easy to sign-up.

 

Why ClubRunner? It’s a communication tool used by Rotary clubs to funnel information to members. Downtown Rotary’s ClubRunner account is 2815. Here you will have access to your bill, our club events and programs along with member contact information. It’s important so sign-up today!

 

 

Garro introduced are speaker today who needed no introduction, Russell Judd.  Russell is the CEO for what was formerly KMC Hospital and now Kern Medical a Hospital Authority. No longer just a county run hospital, Judd spoke how Kern Medical is owned and operated by the Hospital Authority. The Authority was formed back in 2015 which took control from County of Kern and the Board of Supervisors.

 

On any given day there are 150 residents and 180 medical students on the grounds. KM operates an academic medical center. Incredible training opportunities for medical students since it has a very busy trauma center.

 

Improving the back end on the business side, billing customers for services performed and collections has changed the performance of the facility and turned around it’s whole financial structure.

 

Fantastic job Russell on saving the hospital and showing how the operations were improved upon and made more efficient and cost effective!
