Poor finances call into question plans for new hospital in Boca Raton, FL

Working in partnership with two South Florida universities, Boca Raton (FL) Community Hospital had originally scheduled to begin construction this year on a large academic medical center. Instead, a $42 million loss is pulling attention away from the $600 million project. The hospital's new chief executive officer could not say when construction would begin and acknowledged the project could fall apart if revenue and the overall economy don't improve.
