Tufts President and CEO Michael Wagner, MD, attributed the loss to one-time expenses, such as more than $1 million the hospital spent to train staff and buy supplies to prepare for possible Ebola cases. The hospital also spent millions on consulting and legal fees for a deal with Boston Medical Center, which fell through.

The hospital saw total revenue increase to $915.1 million in 2015, up from $908.7 million the year prior.
