Construction of the Culpeper Surgery Center also proceeded with a scheduled opening of June 2003 • The financial performance for CRH was excellent and also shows notable improvement over FY 2001. This resulted from the continued growth of services across the board, a very significant reduction in inpatient length of stay to 3.57 days, from 4.11 in FY 2001, and an outstanding growth in net operating revenue of 18% or $44,375 million, compared with $37796 million in FY 2001 • The Hospitalist Program was fully implemented under the leadership of CMA and Hospitalist Medical Director Clara Eden MD • Our capital campaign—Here^s to Your Health!—
