The hospital’s interim CEO, Charles Gijanto, told board members in November how Massena Memorial planned to use the funds if awarded: “Basically, the whole premise is that, assuming we get the grant, the hospital comes out of debt so there is no liability left with the town should the hospital become a 501(c)(3),” he said. “Basically, the grant goes to cover the debts of the hospital,” according to the publication.
Mr. Gijanto noted Feb. 5 that the hospital will apply for another round of funding from the state in May. That funding initiative totals $300 million for the state.
