Pawating Hospital, Niles, MI
Article Abstract:
Pawating Hospital, a 174-bed facility in Niles, MI, avoided financial disaster by merging with 300-bed Mercy Memorial Medical Center in St. Joseph, MI, to create the Lakeland Regional Health System. The merger has improved billing, marketing and human resources at Pawating, and has enabled the hospital to update equipment and renovate its facilities. An alliance between the two hospitals and a health insurance provider resulted in the development of a preferred-provider health insurance program. The hospital, which will construct a 20,000 sq ft medical office building in 1994, had an operating income of $1.9 million in 1992, up from a 1990 loss of $111,961.

Millinocket (ME) Regional Hospital
Article Abstract:
Maine's Millinocket Regional Hospital focused on enhancing outpatient services, recruiting physicians and improving community outreach to boost its lagging financial status. The hospital increased its number of doctors from nine to 15, which helped attract more specialists. The focus on outpatient services prompted plans for a renovation project that was begun in May 1993. Millinocket joined with other providers to develop an integrated health care delivery system that is currently providing Magnetic Resonance Imaging and scanning services. Operating income increased from $402,511 in 1990 to $1.5 million in 1992.
