Project Description

CLSH is a short-term stay hospital recently expanded and opened in May of 2010, providing quality and effective patient services to both the insured and uninsured. Roughly 47% of CLSH payments are derived from Medicare and Medicaid. Approximately 50% come from Blue Cross and other commercial providers. Nearly 1 in 5 of CLSH’s patients are impoverished Medicaid recipients. The new facility faces a number of operational challenges and is located in a rural census tract that is medically underserved with a poverty rate of 50.6%. CLSH is responsible for significant job creation; NMTC financing preserved 157 jobs, including over 100 physicians.
