TWO AREA HOSPITALS LABELED "AT RISK"

(Whitewater Valley)--Two Whitewater Valley hospitals have been labeled “at risk,” according to data obtained and released by a U.S. senator’s office.  The claim is that proposed Medicaid cuts have placed some rural hospitals at risk of potential cuts, conversions, or outright closures.  The two in our area that have been placed on the list are Ascension St. Vincent Randolph Hospital in Winchester and Wayne Hospital in Greenville.  Wayne Healthcare has urged lawmakers to consider long-term effects of cuts.
