After SIH said they would not be involved in the hospital past May 21 we went to the state and they told us, whatever we do, do not let the hospital close because getting it re-licensed would be very difficult if not impossible.

If that happens, we're going to give every single employee a 2 percent bonus.

It's the first year that we have been in a positive position and we're proud of that.

My first job was to complete a feasibility study to see exactly where we were at.

Even three years later I don't think anybody except those very close to the day-to-day operation of the hospital knows just how close we came to closing down.

Over the last couple of days we've tried to break past C$1.1650 (85.83 U.S. cents) and we really haven't been able to do it, and I think what we're starting to see now is some profit-taking, not only on dollar/Canada positions, but on cross positions.
