Kern Health Systems' new CEO Doug Hayward went before the Board of Supervisors yesterday to go on the record to say they will be sharing the wealth.
The KHS Board of Directors has voted to distribute nearly 25 million dollars in excess reserves to three local safety net medical providers.
The largest cut of that is 13 million dollars for Kern Medical Center.
KHS, a Medi-Cal-funded local health initiative with more than 70 million dollars in reserves, will also share some 12 million dollars with Clinica Sierra Vista and National Health Systems.
