Hospital still in a surplus situation

With one month left in the fiscal year, Lake of the Woods District Hospital remains in the black.

President and CEO, Marc Belcaen says through the end of January,the hospital was running a surplus of more than 359 thousand dollars.

He says thats less than the month before, but still is ahead of their pace from last year.

Belcaen says they are seeing an increase in their overtime costsbecause all their beds are full right now, and that's starting to eat into their budget surplus.
