Community Hospitals

 Lancaster Pollard is one of the nation’s largest groups of finance professionals dedicated to the health care sector and offers an unparalleled understanding of Community Hospitals’ financial characteristics. The firm has underwritten projects for this segment in both favorable and unfavorable borrowing environments. To meet today’s health care demands, many community hospitals face expensive renovations and repairs and technology upgrades; and Lancaster Pollard guides them to the capital they need to better serve their patients.

We understand the challenges community hospitals face in an ever-changing health care environment, especially the deteriorating payor mix, weakened credit ratings and drops in days cash on hand occurring in this market. Due to these factors, many hospitals have reduced or deferred capital spending; but, our expertise in providing a complete range of funding options for expansion, renovation, replacement and refinancing projects allows us to meet your objectives even in tight credit markets.

New or restructured debt should be incorporated in your spending and investment policies. Debt and assets cannot be looked at through separate windows. For nonprofit organizations Lancaster Pollard Investment Advisory Group, an independent, registered investment advisor, can assist in evaluating and monitoring investments and overall balance sheet risk to help your organization create the financial means to last the life of its mission.
