June was a mixed month for the nation’s hospitals and health systems. While key performance metrics continued to improve compared to poor performance seen in the early months of the pandemic in 2020, margins and volumes remained below pre-pandemic levels from 2019, not including federal CARES Act funding. At the same time, expenses rose above 2019 levels and revenues surpassed both 2019 and 2020 performance.
