LA Times: With just days of cash left, remote California hospital nears crisis point

"...Located in Lone Pine, a town at the base of Mt. Whitney with just 1,300 residents, Southern Inyo Healthcare District is the only hospital within a nearly 60-mile radius. It’s the closest stop for injured hikers and dehydrated tourists visiting Whitney or nearby Death Valley, which regularly receives more than 1 million visitors per year. Without it there would be a 136-mile stretch between the next closest hospitals in the eastern Sierra Nevada...."

The hospital’s financial distress comes as rural hospitals across the country face rising costs related to labor and supplies as well as projected future decreases in revenue from federal Medicaid cuts.
