Special meeting set with Leech Lake Tribal Council CASS COUNTY BOARD Correspondent WALKER - Cass County Board will host a special meeting with Leech Lake Tribal Council at 12:30 p.m. Jan. 23 at Northern Lights Convention Center at the Y Junction of Highways 200 and 371 south of Walker.
The board will attend an 11:30 a.m. Critical Access Task Force meeting Dec. 28 at Hope Lutheran Church in Walker to meet officials from Frauenshuh Inc. Benedictine Health System has selected that firm as lead developer for the community health-care complex proposed to be built at Ah-Gwah-Ching.
Frauenshuh will complete a feasibility and marketing study by March to address what aspects of the project can be made cost effective to develop. A long-term care facility, clinic and critical access hospital with up to 25 beds have been proposed.
Because the U.S. Congress failed to pass legislation this year to exempt the project from a federal prohibition against building a new critical access hospital within 35 miles of an existing hospital, the Frauenshuh study will consider alternate plans for a hospital at Ah-Gwah-Ching and at an alternate site within 20 miles of Ah-Gwah-Ching.
It is still possible Congress could pass the exemption in 2007, according to John Warren, task force chair. Ah-Gwah-Ching is about 32 miles from the existing hospital in Park Rapids.
