In 2009, Tri-County Memorial Hospital in Gowanda, N.Y., closed its inpatient services after massive flooding destroyed its facility. The Federal Emergency Management Agency helped pay for a new outpatient and urgent care facility, but Lake Shore had to take on Tri-County Memorial’s inpatient volumes, according to the report.
Consequently, Lake Shore is eligible to receive up to $5 million in FEMA money related to storm costs. However, the federal funds can only be used toward capital improvements, not day-to-day operations.
In December, TLC Health Network, the operator of Lake Shore, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Previously, Lake Shore announced it could close as soon as Jan. 14 if it did not receive supplemental funding. New York officials plan to give Lake Shore $1 million in operational funding to keep it open for another month while Anthony Borrello, a local businessman, conducts due diligence on a possible deal.
