PCH faces budget squeeze at Princeton Community Hospital
Princeton Community Hospital plans belt tightening with staff reductions and a 5 percent rate request to commercial insurers after a February loss of 447000 and a year-to-date deficit of 1.4 million. CEO Dan Dunmyer said collections lag, Medicare writes off 70 cents on the dollar, and operations cost push may force layoffs or bare malpractice coverage. The hospital projects 43000 annual visits and aims for a 2 million profit in fiscal 2004.
