Maywood, Ill.-based Loyola University Health System recovered a profit of $404,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, turning around the system's $42.9 million loss for FY 2009, according to a Crain's Chicago Business report.
The 2009 loss followed a $31.8 million loss in 2008, which led the system to lay off hundreds of workers last year.
The health system credits its improvement to increasing patient volumes and aggressive cost cutting. Admissions were up 1.4 percent compared to the year prior, and surgical cases were up 4.7 percent. It also credited the system's 2008 acquisition of Loyola's faculty physician practice, which is believed to have helped boost volumes.
