Earlier this week on Regional Radio, we highlighted Warner Hospital keeping a close watch over potential cuts to Medicaid.

CEO Paul Skowron indicates the City-owned facility is hoping for the best but planning for the worst. However, he points out they are somewhat insulated from the devastating impacts of the proposed cuts thanks to conservative budgeting for over a decade.

According to Skowron, one of the benefits of the geographical location for Clinton is the fact they are surrounding by bigger healthcare facilities with a great deal of resources. He says good relationships with them are key to providing great care to patients.

With the passage of the Trump administration's spending plan this week, Skowron will continue to monitor just how much of an impact that will have on the City-owned facility.
