Two contracts between Winneshiek Medical Center and Mayo Health System which had been scheduled to expire on June 30th of 2021 will now expire on June 30th, 2022.
Mayo has a contract with the local hospital and clinic to provide management services and professional services. WMC Chief Administrative Office Lisa Radtke says it takes a significant amount of time to do the work needed on a contract renewal and the coronavirus epidemic has made it impossible to get that work done in time.
The Winneshiek Medical Center Board of Trustees has approved a one-year renewal of the two contracts, which will now expire on June 30th of 2022—at a time when everyone hopes the coronavirus epidemic has abated.
