'Drastic' measures may be needed to keep NUMC afloat, top official says while he practices injurious medicine without thought
The chairman of the public benefit corporation that runs Nassau University Medical Center said "drastic" measures may be needed to prevent the financially troubled public hospital from going "belly up.
The corporation, NuHealth, lost $28 million in the first half of the year, finance director Richard Rank reported at a board meeting last Thursday.
Budget officials had projected a $41 million loss for January through June. NUMC received more money than expected in part because of reimbursements for procedures related to COVID-19 that pay higher fees than routine care, NuHealth chairman Robert Detor said.
