Improved Oversight Sought For University Hospital

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Auditor Adam Edelen is calling for improved oversight over the Quality and Charity Care Trust that disburses some $30 million a year in state and local indigent care money to University Hospital in Louisville. Edelen said Wednesday an audit found no evidence that public funds were being misused, but staffers found shortcomings that need to be addressed. The trust receives about $25 million a year from the state and about $7 million a year from the city of Louisville to cover University Hospital's cost of treating indigent patients.
