The board emphasized aligning resources with these updated goals. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to evaluating the existing wellness center operated by Premise Health, including contract performance metrics, utilization rates, and return on investment (ROI).

The session concluded with a motion to enter executive session for real estate matters related to potential facility locations.
