Error-Prone Hospital Can Keep Funding

Compiled From Wire Services

Federal regulators granted a major reprieve to a mistake-ridden hospital Wednesday, finding it had corrected deficiencies and clearing it to keep receiving millions in government health care funding.

University Community Hospital had been threatened with losing that funding after one patient lost the wrong leg in a botched amputation and another died after he was mistakenly removed from a ventilator.
