“We haven’t fired any staff,” CFO Sam Muse told Alaska Public Media. “The hope is that we can figure this out in a way that we’re shuffling people around and finding good solutions for every home base staff here.”
The hospital has $42 million in cash on hand, or about enough capital to run for seven months.
