  • Strong Memorial Hospital continues to report favorable operating results, with an operating margin of 4.0% in 2004, compared to 4.4% in fiscal 2003.
  • Operating revenues increased by 7.3% due primarily to patient volume increases and modest payment rate increases from third-party payers.
  • Operating expenses increased by 7.7% related to volume growth noted above, inflationary trends in medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, a significant increase post-employment benefit costs (primarily workers compensation), higher professional liability insurance and temporary nursing costs, and a higher level of bad debt expense.
