Community Health Center Hospital in Michigan Receives $2.3M Line of Credit

Community Health Center of Branch County, a 118-bed hospital based in Coldwater, Mich., received approval from the county commission to get a $2.3 million line of credit at 2 percent interest or lower, according to a WTVB report.

Hospital officials plan to use the funds to continue to replace and update the hospital and its equipment. The hospital has already spent $7.5 million on an expansion, according to the report.


In response to criticism of taking on more debt, CHC President and CEO Randy DeGroot said hospital could survive without the additional funds, but the line of credit and associated financing costs are small enough, equal to only a portion of a day's net revenue, to where the money can be put to good use immediately.
