Mercy Hospital’s President Discusses the Potential Medicaid Cuts
“18% of our total patients we serve at Mercy have Medicaid, Neff explained. “We’re just a small hospital in a rural community that’s five hours in any direction away from the next largest healthcare system or hospital. We cannot be all things to all people. We try to be the most that we can be to serve the region. If you think about the hospitals in the smaller towns that are around us, they could potentially be closing down service lines because some of those service lines are heavily funded by Medicaid.”
