Paris Regional Medical Center is looking forward to getting back to normal operations after a year that saw it close its doors to visitors, suspend its volunteer program, furlough some employees and scale back some of its services, all due to Covid-19. Financially, the hospital was down about 15% to 20% of its budget.
âWe did get the benefit of several million dollars in CARES ACT dollars from the government,â CEO Steve Hyde said. âThat allowed us to make budget for the year. We are behind on the bottom line, but 2020 would have been a brutal, wicked year for us if it wasnât for the supplemental dollars the government gave us.â
