After a rocky spring when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit and revenue plummeted, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health saw its operating margin climb back into the black for the quarter ending Sept. 30 thanks to federal stimulus payments.
Daniel Jantzen, the Lebanon-based health system’s CFO, described its $13.9 million, or 2.2% margin for the first three months of its 2021 fiscal year as a “dramatic recovery” from losses that occurred earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, in a filing with bondholders late last month.
