× 2.30 output multiplier · upper-bound estimate, upper bound for rural
Method: NCRHW 2016 study of critical access hospitals (IMPLAN Type II), employment × 1.34, earnings × 1.19; output × 2.30 (AHA national, upper bound for rural). This hospital is not a critical access hospital. No published multiplier specific to its type was used, so the CAH ratios are applied unchanged and every multiplied figure here should be read as an upper-bound estimate, not a measurement of this facility. Direct figures are reported values from the facility's HCRIS cost report; multiplied figures are estimates.
