Hospital in the Black

Even though Lake of the Woods District Hospital has a surplus half-way through this fiscal year, its been a struggle to balance their books.

The hospital is 264 thousand dollars in the black after six months of the the 2010/2011 fiscal year.

Despite the black in, Chief Executive Officer Marc Belcaen says its been tough making ends meet.

Belcaen says they cut the volunteer co-ordinator position as a cost-saving measure and will also

not be replacing two managers, who will be retiring later this year.
