I have been remiss, and not checking the site American Hospital Directory (AHD.com). Some new figures have come in which make the Essent Healthcare Corporation's future a bit more uncertain. Only one hospital is listing a profit: Sharon Hospital. The rest are swimming in red ink. The rundowns are as such:
Sharon Hospital********78beds $1,889,467
PRMC*****************255beds -$508,231
NVMC******************57beds -$638,864
SWMC******************73beds -$2,411,841
MVH*******************138beds -$4,323,137
Total********************601beds -$6,001,606 net annual loss
The names of the hospitals are also links to the full listing for each under the free information section of AHD.com. Note: The information included is provided by Essent itself.
These figures do not reflect the current crisis. The disclaimers on the pages indicated that these are last year's figures, and in part 2006! So, it doesn't show the construction costs, the locums, the RHCs, and so on....
You would think that the various newspapers in these communities would have picked up on the downward trend, but, then again, they missed the firing of Hud (by almost a month!), and locally the Knizely dismissal. When I can scoop them, just using my limited resources, what are their reporters doing?
