New rumor from Dallas--the Paris Heart program may be having its own problems. Specifically volume. For a hospital that is 'dedicated' as a heart center, the patient load isn't there.
When the majority of the insured patients go to Dallas or Tyler for treatment, and the remainder are high mix of self-pay/no-pay and have poor health and diet, we can see why.

What's even more confounding is that the hospital gives privleges to physicians that are referring patients right out the door to other hospitals.
Obviously, the emergency patients generally don't have a choice, but Advanced funnels a significant number of insured away.
