Current laws governing community hospitals are flexible enough to allow governing boards to operate responsibly without restrictions which could hamper medical staff recruitment and compensation. Despite certain questionable expenditures by Golden Triangle Regional Medical Center (GTRMC), the PEER Committee does not recommend any amendments to existing statutes. The State Department of Audit, District Attorney, and Attorney General should continue investigation of any possible illegal acts by GTRMC officials.
