...steep costs have been worsened by the low daily average of 125 patients in the 294-bed hospital. A Roberts aide says the hospital (excluding the research center and clinic) operated in the black for the first time last month. To cut costs, 140 of the 1,000 medical-center staffers were laid off, the dental school was closed, and the law school was given to Evangelist Pat Robertson's CBN University...
