The United Methodist Village Board of Directors released a letter this week addressing the financial situation. The letter starts with a history of both Lawrenceville facilities. The letter then addresses the financial situation and points to the state’s Medicaid program as the cause of many issues. It also points out a decline in bequests and gifts over the years. The board of directors did note there would be a rise in Medicaid rates this year. The board says they are searching for a director of finance to assist in perfecting their system and managing their resources. In the final paragraph, board members discuss their failure to communicate the issues they are facing at the facilities. The United Methodist Village has announced there will be two sessions with Bishop Frank Beard on August 23rd. The sessions will take place at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the chapel at the North Campus. Beard will listen to concerns from citizens and share information from the board of directors.
