“Southern Inyo Healthcare District, a 37-bed hospital in Lone Pine, had eight days of cash on hand as of Sept.12, chief executive Dr. Kevin Flanigan told CalMatters…Assemblymember David Tangipa, Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil, and Inyo County supervisors said in the letter to Newsom that the hospital faces a short-term deficit and a one-time infusion from the state would be enough to stabilize the facility long term.”
“It’s of utmost importance to us to not let another rural hospital close,” said Austin Gilbert, a spokesperson for Tangipa’s office.
