The Good Samaritan Hospital Board of Governors Thursday approved a request to update the hospitals server infrastructure and increase storage capacity. The moves were made after hearing from Chief Information Officer Dan Scott that the current server and storage space have reached critical capacity levels. The new server update will cost around $169,000 and the new storage solution around $177,000. Also approved was a budgeted purchase of a bioMerieux Vitek 2 XL for the microbiology department within the hospital labratory for approximately $128,000. Debra Hardwick who is Director of Community Health Services updated the board on the Community Health Needs Assessment used to help identify the health needs of the community.
