Brooks-TLC lost more than $20 million in 2022, and its current, aging hospital facility has been a drag on finances, according to The Buffalo News. The proposed facility would be 57,634 square feet and 15 beds, roughly half the size of the current facility. 

A consultant for the health system estimates that if the Fredonia facility is not built, the system will lose at least $15 million a year through 2030.

If the facility in Fredonia is built, the consultant estimates that the annual losses will be trimmed down to $3.3 million. The plan would be covered by state funds that have already been awarded but not yet released.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
