The month of August was a good one for Skiff Medical Center. Chief Financial Officer Mike Anderson told the Skiff Board of Trustees at its regular meeting Wednesday that some key numbers were up during August.

“Although inpatient admissions were flat, patient days were up 163 percent over the prior year,” Anderson said. “And swing bed days were up 183 percent. It was a much fuller hospital than we’ve had in a long time.”

In addition, outpatient visits were at 7,000 for August, the highest number for the hospital ever.
