For the third straight month the Dr. John Warner Hospital is reporting a positive bottom line.
CEO of the city owned hospital, Earl Sheehy explains thanks to decreased payroll expenses and not filling certain positions as they open up have allowed the hospital to cut back on their spending. Sheehy notes the trend of not filling some positions as they open up will continue.

The administration of the hospital does not just cut staffing, Sheehy explains they evaluate each position as it comes available and then make the decision whether to fill it.

Sheehy feels the hospital should continue to operate in the black and he says there is a good opportunity for them to finish the year in the black as well.
