Ransom Memorial Hospital Hikes Room Rates Aug 15
Trustees approve across the board room rate increases at Ransom Memorial Hospital effective August 15. Private rooms rise to 60 a day semi private 55 and ICU 80. Other lab and surgical rates also climb. Hospital faced six month deficit around 57000 due to higher utilities inflation and lower occupancy. Administrator Steve Lott says aims to reach break even by year end with tighter cost control and revenue from higher rates. Board president Robert Clogston notes law requires the hospital not operate at a loss.
