Kevin Spiegel Care Quotations

If the emergency center is going to bring in new patients, a critical care section will be absolutely necessary.

We are trying to balance those kinds of losses with the profitable side of business, which includes doing more cardiac surgeries. An emphasis has been placed on cardiac care because the medium age of residents is increasing, and more people are showing up with symptoms of heart disease.

Just because we are going through this financial situation, does not mean Trumbull Memorial is not going to continue this building project and purchasing state-of-the-art technology needed to provide state-of-the-art care for our patients. Our board is committed to enhancing the level of care available to this community.

We are experiencing the same kinds of problems that are no different from those faced by most other hospitals in the country. Hospitals are losing money because we are receiving lower state and federal reimbursements for patient treatments and are having more uninsured and under-insured patients using emergency rooms as their primary care physicians.
