When losses on investments and pensions were added, that loss rose to $36.2 million, compared with an overall $14.7 million gain in 2021 — a decline of almost 350 percent.

Hunterdon enjoyed some good news in recent weeks with a Leapfrog “A” safety rating and a significant drop in its Medicare readmissions fines for 2022, which declined from 2.29 percent to 0.12 percent.
