St. Albans hospital eyes cuts, revenue growth to stabilize budget

Northwestern Medical Center administrators are cutting expenses – including potential savings of $1 million from staffing reductions – in an effort to improve the St. Albans hospital’s bottom line. The hospital lost $3.7 million on operations in fiscal year 2018. But Finance Director Stephanie Breault told the Green Mountain Care Board on Monday that Northwestern is poised to push that number into the black in the current fiscal year.
