SAN FRANCISCO — Citing compliances issues, state and federal health care officials cut off Medicare and Medicaid funding Thursday to San Francisco’s Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center.
Breed tried to assure the more than 700 patients and their families at the facility that the city would work quickly to restore the funding. San Francisco Director of Health Dr. Grant Colfax said the funding cut was impacting many of the city’s most vulnerable residents.“We understand that the decision made today by CMS may cause anxiety for our community of patients, families, and staff,” Colfax said.
