County Rejects Plan to Save Inpatient Services
From Times Staff Reports

The county is converting the Lancaster hospital into an ambulatory care clinic to save $10 million a year, part of a larger plan to close a projected $1.1-billion budget shortfall in the county health-care system by the 2007-08 fiscal year.
