The Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council’s latest report says that the financial performance of the state’s 170 general acute-care hospitals improved during the 2007 fiscal year (July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007).

However, concerns come with the performance of small, rural hospitals, which are still losing money, reports the Patriot-News, which also details the performance of Harrisburg-area hospitals.
