The Metro Nashville Network's Hospital Authority Board Finance Committee met on September 24, 2026, to discuss several procurement and financial matters related to Nashville General Hospital. Key procurement discussions included approval of grant-funded contracts with Mahairi Medical Group for hepatitis C medication dispensing and opioid addiction treatment prescriptions, with monthly drug spend around $100,000. The committee also approved a contract renewal with Gartner World for hospital security services, noting a 3.9% cost increase tied to inflation and emphasizing the importance of security personnel qualifications and workplace violence assessments. Financial updates highlighted a favorable revenue month in August, with expenses slightly over budget due to one-time costs, and ongoing efforts to improve accounts payable and revenue cycle management. The committee also discussed audit progress and plans to present the CEO contract for approval at the next meeting. Motions to approve contracts and financial statements were passed unanimously.
