Corry Memorial Hospital writes off over 5000 in debts
Corry Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees authorized more than 5000 in bad debt writeoffs at a regular meeting. Administrator Samuel Antrim said some funds may still be collected as debts are turned over to lawyers and collection agencies. The hospital, facing fewer patient days, cites Medicare and Blue Cross efforts to trim hospital stays as the main cause. Antrim noted occupancy aims to improve by directing Corry area patients to recuperate at home or the local extended care facility after major Erie hospital procedures.
