Hospital Needs Funds Despite New Tax

From Times wire reports
Despite passage of a tax last year that is expected to pump nearly $6 million a year into cash-strapped Alameda Hospital, the independent facility is still losing money.
The tax, which charges homeowners nearly $300 a year, was approved by voters in April 2002.
Though critics say there’s more work to be done, hospital supporters say much has been done to help the 135-bed hospital balance its $25-million budget. They also say new doctors and new equipment should make the hospital more attractive to patients.
