Sheps Center Provides Rural Hospital Financial Data to U.S. Senators

Those indicators include whether Medicaid was a large payer and whether the hospital had three consecutive years of being nonprofitable. As part of this request, the Sheps Center did not predict future financial distress-related outcomes for individual hospitals.
