Litigation concerns and rising insurance premiums caused cash flow to plummet at the location. The Tennessee facility was essentially operating at breakeven, and combined, they brought in nearly $14.1 million in revenues. Around 36% of the census came from private pay and Medicare patients (not... Read More »
