West Tennessee Healthcare, a non-profit, public health system based in Jackson, expects to end this fiscal year with approximately $12.5 million in profit, representing a 2.1 percent operating margin, according to a Jackson Sun news report.
The 2.1 percent operating margin would bring the healthcare system's financial status back to 2008 levels. However, its 2.1 percent operating margin is still lower than the median 3.3 percent operating margin for healthcare systems of similar size, according to the news report.
