Inpatient admissions fell 16 percent in the first quarter of Salem Hospital’s 2012 fiscal year, which ended Dec. 31, 2011. President and CEO Norm Gruber said roughly 30 full- and part-time positions would be eliminated and another 30 would not be filled, according to the report.
Although the $30 million in cuts are more than the projected $24 million shortfall, the hospital said it is preparing for more future challenges.
