Hospital Report Cards:
The data for these graphs was generated by each hospital and is posted on the Washington State Department of Health website:
Cash Reserves: The amount of money a hospital has (to pay staff and purchase equipment/supplies).
Some hospitals already operate at a loss: expenses are greater than revenue.
While some still scrape by a financial profit: revenue is greater than expenses.
Newport is a healthier hospital, but will likely see cash reserves diminish.
