back in may, Bay Area Hospital announced it was closing its behavioral health unit due to rising costs. But after community outcry, the hospital found a way to stay open for another 12 months using funds provided by Advanced Health, which helps coordinate care for residents of Coos and Curry counties in the Oregon Health Plan. Brian Moore is the president and CEO of Bay Area Hospital. He joins us to share what led to the initial closure and how they will keep it open after the first year is up.
