New Board, new administrator.... 10 months later the hospital is near broke and half of the staff is gone. Hm.... Interesting. "Admissions from the ER were down 71%, with inpatient lab and radiology services also suffering declines of nearly 80%", "SHCHD a net loss for the first quarter of FY 09-10 of approximately $38,000, a 185% increase in net loss over the first quarter of FY 08-09" Wow! 70% and 80%!!! What is going on on down there??!!
