Ryan FinnertyChamplain Valley hospitals announce more than $11 million in losses over 6 months
Hospitals in Plattsburgh and Malone announced substantial financial losses since October, citing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While it might seem strange for a healthcare facility to lose money during a national medical emergency, that is exactly what has happened at hospitals around the country and here in the North Country.
The reason is that Americans have been using less healthcare.
Staying at home orders meant fewer accidental injuries and concerns about contracting an infectious disease resulted in fewer elective procedures being scheduled.

Theresa Knapp, 86, was the first Alice Center resident to receive a dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Knapp received the vaccine December 21 at the Alice Center, at a clinic administered by Walgreens.

According to a press release from Phillip Rau, a spokesperson for the Malone hospital, visitation at the Skilled Nursing Facility had previously been suspended on March 18 after an employee at the facility tested positive for COVID-19. The resumption of visits at the Skilled Nursing Facility in February followed a months-long suspension of visitation, due to positive tests for the virus in November 2020.
MALONE â Shortly before the pandemic changed the daily lives of people around the world, a local woman traveled to Southeast Asia, volunteering as part of a group that went to Cambodia to provide dental care to children.
Lauren LaBare, of Malone, was the sole dental hygienist among 17 volunteers on the trip to Siem Reap, in the northwestern portion of the country, in November 2019.
LaBare described her time in Cambodia as a unique experience, and one that was incredibly rewarding, explaining how happy the children whose teeth she cleaned were to receive dental care.
âIt was amazing to see the kidsâ smiles after we cleaned their teeth,â LaBare said, âI found that they were very gracious and appreciative.â
