The financial improvement, revealed April 3, was partially attributable to the independent facility’s new 15-bed senior behavioral health unit, hospital officials said.
The behavioral health and psychiatric unit for senior citizens, which opened in early 2018, admitted 170 patients in its first year.
Hospital officials also announced April 3 that the new 60,000-square-foot medical office and lab building in Bristol is scheduled to open on June 10. The hospital will offer outpatient care in cardiology, neurology, urology, rheumatology and orthopedics in that building, according to the report.
Other hospital plans include a multimillion dollar emergency room expansion and rebranding itself as Bristol Health.
