Another Look at Hospital Finances – September 2001

PHC4 recently issued Financial Analysis 2000, Volume 1. This in-depth report covered the financial health of Pennsylvania’s general acute care hospitals, on a hospital-by-hospital basis, using hospital-provided data, and was made available for public review. The report notes that hospital income statewide has increased for the first time since 1995. In the report, and in comments to the media, PHC4 indicated that while this finding was good news for hospitals overall, “a significant number of individual hospitals continue to struggle.”
