Hospital is facing financial troubles, but members of its advisory board are confident the hospital will improve its financial position, according to the Ell- wood City Ledger. Americore Health, a privately held company based in Fort Lau- derdale, Fla., owns and manages Ellwood City Hospital. Nine complaints were filed against Americore earlier this year alleg- ing the company defaulted on contracts totaling $7.1 million. In June, New York's Supreme Court ruled in favor of the creditors, resulting in bank accounts tied to Ellwood City Hospital being frozen, according to the Ellwood City Ledger. Ellwood City Hospital couldn't make payroll or pay other expens- es after the accounts were frozen, and was forced to implement layoffs. Hospital officials have not released the exact number of layoffs or the departments affected, according to the report. Despite Ellwood City Hospital's financial struggles, members of its advisory board are optimistic the hospital will improve its financial position. Americore Health CEO Grant White told Alan Dambaugh, chair- man of the hospital's advisory board, Ellwood City Hospital has the financial backing it needs to continue operating. "It looks grim now, but [soon] we should be able to get the labs running," which is a major revenue source for the hospital, Mr. Dambaugh told the Ellwood City Ledger. n The 2 work-from-home healthcare jobs with $85K-plus salaries By Megan Knowles N urse practitioners and radiologists were the two healthcare jobs listed among high-pay- ing remote jobs, with radiologists having the highest median salary on the list at $260,604, accord- ing to a report from job seeker website FlexJobs.
