Lompoc Hospital District Posts Large 1975 76 Loss
The Lompoc Hospital District shows a net loss of 265 666 for the 1975 76 year with 56 724 in monthly operating losses in 76 77 raising that year to date loss to 144 823. Most of the deficit stems from extraordinary write offs including 131 000 for unused architectural plans and 100 000 for deferred compensation to former administrator Ken Wicks. The district cites a drop in patient days from 13 440 to 11 800 and occupancy of 35.7 percent as a key factor, with the board planning a census study by Down and Johnson to seek solutions.
