Big projects have been front and center at Warner Hospital in Clinton for the last few years.

In 2026, things should calm down, says CEO Paul Skowron. On the WHOW Morning Show on Tuesday, he told the Hart Media Group that they want to simply be able to get used to all the things that have changed in the last two or three years.

According to Skowron, the city-owned facility remains well-staffed, and while many rural healthcare facilities struggle with staffing, that hasn't been the case in Clinton. He points out, however, that the projects of the last few years have put a lot of stress on their staff.

Skowron says the year ahead could be challenging. With very little movement on reimbursement rates and the increased expenses, margins are only getting thinner for facilities like Warner Hospital and Health Services.

The Warner Hospital Foundation is getting ready for a March glo-bingo event. He encourages the community to follow the Hospital Facebook page as details about that event come out in the weeks ahead.
