The rumors of the hospital closing have been floating around for over a year.

My connection said that 30-40 positions of the 800+ in Albert Lea will go to Austin.. It's more of a threat than a fact in a major baby boomer retirement community..

The CEO of Mayo is more about profits than he is about care.. Mayo should lose their Non-Profit status, they are a perfect picture of an illegal Monopoly..

30 or 40 positions? There's that many in ICU alone that loses their jobs Oct. 1, and Med Surg has more than ICU. You should find a better source.

 After Dr. Ciota stated the two hospitals had a $4.6 million loss in 2015 and an $8 million loss in 2016, he was asked which hospital generated the loss.  Dr. Ciota response was that they had merged the two hospitals together and there was no way to tell what caused the loss or where it was generated.  What type of a CEO is he to not be drilling down on these losses as they occur.

If you followed the yellow brick road to the Emerald City (aka Med City) you'd find one of those shimmering towers with floor after floor dedicated to every aspect of centralized corporate Mayo finance.  
Ciota may have a billing department, even a rudimentary accounting department but his statement here leads me to believe the data may be entered in Albert Lea or Austin but their spread sheets come from the creative accounting department in the Med City..

QUOTE
65 percent of patients the organization takes care of are on Medicare or Medicaid. Medicare reimburses the hospital 33 percent on the dollar, while Medicaid reimburses 22 cents on the dollar.

This statement (if true) would be the same for every hospital operating in Minnesota, why is it most Hospitals even in smaller towns are operating in the black but if you're a Mayo satellite hospital you're in the red.
Medical billing has a sticker price similar to buying a new car, nobody pays the asking price as it's artificially set high to be negotiated to a more realistic number.
My point here, are these real losses or artificially inflated medical pricing from Mayo's creative accounting department.

It's obvious where the local GOP stands.

Ciota said reports that 500 people would be laid off is completely false. He said about 1,000 people work at both campuses, and he expects less than 25 jobs would shift to the Austin campus. The hope is that in the long-term, the consolidation will lead to more jobs.
