Financial TroublesFor its 2017 fiscal year, the organization is expected to improve its operations and projects a surplus of $500,000 for the year. However, due to the struggling organization's reliance on state and government support and a recent de-emphasis on growth, this surplus came at the cost of layoffs and voluntary resignations in 2016. Further complicating their fiscal outlook was the vetoing of a bill by the state governor in July 2016 which would have provided much needed financial support during this time of decreased patient volume. [1] As of April 11, 2014, the organization has posted a loss of $21.5 million for fiscal year 2013. This is in contrast to their projected loss of $19 million for 2013.[2] Previously, the system was noted to have lost $28.5 million on health care operations based on the financial report released for their fiscal year of 2012, and had a reported loss of $36.9 million in 2011. It was also penalized in 2012 for failing to meet quality and patient satisfaction standards set by the federal government, and for having too many Medicare patient readmissions within 30 days of being discharged. When asked about the 2012 report, the Chief Financial Officer at the time Gordon Boudrow was quoted as saying, “Our weakness is driven from serving a high proportion of low-income and uninsured patients for which reimbursements are poor.”[3] Further Information
