Boone Hospital planning to go independent

Boone Hospital plans to go it alone.

Trustees said on Monday they will operate as an independent hospital when the management deal with BJC Healthcare expires at the end of 2020. They say staying independent instead of going with another national healthcare provider will give Boone local decision-making authority, and more flexibility.

Also on Monday, Boone Hospital Board of Trustees Chair Brian Neuner said he will step down after 12 years as a member. He is now Special Olympics Missouri. A former trustee and recent Columbia mayor, Bob McDavid, will take Neuner’s place until the term ends in April 2020.
