# Health Committee 10/6/26

The McLean County Board Health Committee met on October 6, 2026. The committee approved an emergency appropriation for FY2026 Nursing Services (Fund 4401, Department 8090) and considered a facility agreement with Aetna Network Services LLC, an insurance provider for nursing-home residents. The administrator reported that the agreement had been renegotiated for better terms and rates. The committee also approved a project bid from Cushings Commercial Carpet, Inc., for carpet work on the Health Department’s second and fourth floors; the project was included in the 2026 budget, with funds moved in July to cover the expanded scope. No bid amount was stated in the transcript.

The committee reviewed FY2027 recommended budgets for correctional medical services, Health Department programs, and the nursing home. The jail medical budget was described as approximately $2.5 million, with contracted services accounting for most expenses; the nursing-home budget totaled $13,466,417 and was balanced based on an average census of 98 residents. Health Department grant programs were also reviewed, including approximately $3.34 million in grant-funded programming. The committee discussed staffing changes and the expiration of some grants, with administrators indicating that planned service levels would be maintained. The consent agenda included payment of bills and transfers, but its amount was garbled in the transcript.
