Boca Raton (Fla.) Community Hospital has announced a $500,000 profit for the 2009-2010 fiscal year, making 2009-2010 the hospital’s first profitable year since 2006, according to a Palm Beach Post report.

CEO Jerry Fedele previously said two years of cost-cutting and reinvestment would make the institution financially viable once again.

The hospital suffered a $120 million loss in 2007-2008 following a failed plan to reinvent itself as a major academic hospital. Boca Raton board members considered selling or even closing the hospital.

Mr. Federle said the hospital has achieved its financial turnaround by eliminating 190 positions, focusing more on core strengths and increasing its number of referring physicians.
