Summary

The Beaver Island Rural Health Center reported an annual budget of $394,000 and continuing pressure from the loss of roughly $75,000 in state funding. The June report says expenses were generally controlled, while the center pursued federally qualified health-center status and explored whether Bart Stupak could help obtain an exception. It also records approval to treat AmVets members and an August open house for the EMS program.

Evidence limits

The figures and plans are reported by BIRHC; this article is not an independent financial audit and does not establish that FQHC status was later obtained.
