Cedar County Memorial Hospital in El Dorado Springs is having a tough time keeping the doors open after a proposed tax levy increase failed to pass.
The hospital has been operating on the same $1.15 tax levy since it opened in 1960.
The proposal would have raised the tax levy for the average house by around 22 cents a day, or around $80 dollars a year.
The hospital ran a deficit of $1.5 million dollars last year.
The hospital says it’s doing its best to keep things running.
