The Patriot News, June 18, 2008

Overall, 42 hospitals, or 25% of the state's hospitals, lost money, according to a report by the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council. "This is troubling because most of these smallest hospitals are a vital resource for rural Pennsylvania communities," the report said.
