Trios 2018 budget hearing set Thursday

The Kennewick Public Hospital District board plans a public hearing Thursday on the proposed operating budget for 2018.

The hearing is at 5 p.m. at the Trios Care Center at Southridge, 3730 Plaza Way, Kennewick.

The proposed budget is available for public inspection at the district’s administration office at the Southridge care center.

The Kennewick Public Hospital District does business as Trios Health. It includes two hospitals and a network of care centers and clinics.

Trios has been struggling financially for some time.

Last year, the Trios board hired consultants Quorum Health Resources to conduct an assessment and put together an improvement plan, including a workforce restructuring and filing for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.
