Wahiawa (Hawaii) General Hospital was able to avoid planned layoffs and reduced hours after Hawaii Medical Center closed two locations in Honolulu and Ewa Beach, according to a KITV report.
Wahiawa General has seen its average daily ambulance transfers increase dramatically, and business has surged 10-20 percent since HMC's closure.
In December, HMC announced in bankruptcy court that it could not reach a sale price for its two hospitals with Ontario, Calif.-based Prime Healthcare Services, forcing closure of both of its facilities.
