Colorado's Pueblo hospital faces a federal safety deadline as the competency waitlist hits a record
The Gazette reported the hospital had 394 of 516 licensed beds in use, fewer than a few weeks earlier, and was working with fewer staff. The waitlist for evaluation or restoration reached 349 on November 1, 2021.
The state approved a $4.1 million emergency supplemental for compliance and set aside $20.26 million in American Rescue Plan money, most of it to buy 64 private hospital beds.
