Southern Tier hospitals, including those affiliated with Centralus Health, are expressing significant concern over potential looming Medicaid cuts. A news report by WSKG on June 3, 2025, quoted Melissa Tourtellotte, Chief Marketing Officer for Centralus Health, who stated that rural hospitals operate on thin to negative margins, and any reductions in Medicaid funding could worsen financial difficulties, making it harder to cover operating expenses and care for communities. According to the state comptroller's office, Centralus Health's Medicaid enrollment varies between 16% and 36% across its service counties. The article highlights that if the proposed cuts, part of a federal budget bill, are implemented, healthcare systems in the Southern Tier could face significant risks, potentially impacting access to care for residents. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on the budget bill in the first week of July.
