Earlier this month, CEO Doug McCoy addressed concerns about Medicaid cuts and clarified what is in the H.R.1 – the Big Beautiful Bill. Delivered by video message to the community, it was a candid dialogue between himself and Dr. Paul Swanson, Director of the Emergency Department and member of the EPHC Board of Directors.
With the focus on Medicaid cuts, and how these changes are predicted to impact coverage, McCoy shared a series of questions and answers that addressed community concerns.
But the most important takeaway from this message wasn’t the in-depth discussion about Medicaid, rather it was the confirmation that Eastern Plumas Health Care is in a solid financial position to navigate the anticipated Medicaid cuts.
That message came through clearly from McCoy as he informed the community about EPHC’s plans with the expansion of services and proactive measures that will ensure the long-term viability of the hospital and clinics. The video message can be viewed on Eastern Plumas Health Care’s website at ephc.org and the community is encouraged to reach out to Doug McCoy through his email at [email protected] for any questions or concerns.
