Services included 5,721 days of inpatient care, 73,021 outpatient visits, 13,390 emergency room visits, 1,288 ambulatory surgery visits, 5,491 home health visits and 53,513 physician clinic visits. The hospital had 192 deliveries during the year in which approximately 70% were medicaid patients. Many of these babies had significant substance abuse problems. Due to the drug addiction problems of the mothers, very few of these women have received prenatal care.
