Inpatient revenues were down 27% and outpatient revenues were orff 9% in October at Geary Community Hospital.

Hospital CEO Dr. Joseph Stratton said that took Geary Community $1.3 million off budget. “You never know how your inpatient days are going to be. It’s so uncontrollable and unpredictable, and we certainly did not have a good month in that regard.”

Stratton did report to the Board of Trustees that expenses were also down about $190,000. He added November has been a better month with patient volumes.
