Changes in the hospital operations are inevitable and unavoidable to achieve our goal to be a viable and financially strong hospital. Efficiencies will have to be made through hard and unpopular decisions. This has begun with changes in the management of our business office and the discontinuation of home health services effective July 20, 2012.
