Three Colorado hospitals that faced severe cash crunches in the last year are getting closer to financial recovery, but still need to make changes to be sustainable in the long term.Two of the hospitals are small rural facilities: St. Vincent Health in Leadville and Delta Health on the Western Slope. The third, Denver Health, is the city’s urban safety-net facility treating large numbers of uninsured people. All three received significant cash infusions to tide them over.The state legislature made a $5 million emergency appropriation in February to help stabilize Denver Health, which had seen its uncompensated care costs double since 2020 and lost more than $31 million on patient care in 2022. CEO Donna Lynne said the hospital was down to about 75 days’ worth of cash on hand, when a comfortable cushion would be about six months’ worth.Days cash on hand essentially refers to how long a hospital could cover its normal expenses if no reimbursement came in.

One of the primary reasons: The Rams offensive line is giving quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi time to throw. Through three games, the Rams have allowed just five sacks total, only one of which came in last week’s win over Middle Tennessee State. A year ago, the Rams had allowed five sacks before their first game was even finished.Air Raid, Part II: The end result of that protection? Fowler-Nicolosi is picking defenses apart. Through two starts, the redshirt freshman has thrown for 688 yards and five touchdowns, cementing himself as CSU’s starter. Fowler-Nicolosi is spreading the ball around, too.

If the Buffs come out and get embarrassed again, the rest of the Pac-12 schedule will seem twice as daunting. Time for CU to answer the bell.Buffs’ non-existent run game: CU had 55 net rushing yards against TCU, 58 against Nebraska, 70 against CSU and 40 against Oregon. That equates to only 55.8 yards per game, which is making the CU offense one-dimensional, and, in turn, making quarterback Shedeur Sanders’ job twice as difficult.
