Although the system continues to operate in the red, Dan Laurent, a WPAHS spokesman, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the system’s operating numbers have improved over the last five quarters.
WPAHS reported revenue of $445.2 million for the three-month period that ended March 31, up slightly from revenues of $444.3 million for the comparable period of last year.
Inpatient admissions at the system’s facilities were up in the three-month period. Mr. Laurent told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the increase in admissions and outpatient registrations “reflects our efforts to expand capacity and reach of our programs in the community.”
