CA hospital gets $20M boost
San Pablo, CA-based Doctors Medical Center should soon be receiving a $20 million cash infusion from county authorities. The bankrupt hospital, which is run by the West Contra Costa Health Care District, had been losing $1 million per month, and was turning away ambulances from its emergency department. Under the terms of a new proposal, the hospital will receive the $20 million in three installments this year. The hospital had previously said that it needed at least $18 million to stay open for the next nine months, according to a story in the East Bay Business Times. The funding plan must be approved by the California Medical Assistance Commission before it becomes final. The hospital, which has been turning away ambulances since September, should begin accepting them again shortly.
