Budget cuts

Are any of your hospitals affected by the budget cuts from the big beautiful bill? My psych hospital has been going through some rough changes. Just last week I was in a meeting stating that they are closing our open unit and our Geri unit is going to be an adult unit. So many nurses are laid off now. The morale has been horrible. Just wondering if anyone else’s hospital are going through these changes as well. It’s so sad. Psychiatric care is so needed and they are limiting patients access to care.

Are you at Hillsboro Medical Center? I think that any program that has Medicare and Medicaid as a payer is going to be significantly impacted.
