Hospitals face rising costs as modern care expands
Erie County Hospital Council notes one quarter of hospital budgets go to equipment and supplies due to space-age tech. Costs for procedures like coronary care have risen from 400-800 in 1940 to about 3500 and up for cardiac arrest today, with survival around 84 of 100 and 20 extra years expected. New intensive care units, mobile EMS, and advanced radiotherapy drive ongoing expenses while public demand sustains the trend. The council seeks public understanding and cost-containment efforts among nine local hospitals.
