TAMPA — In the wake of two recent suicides at Tampa General Hospital,
federal regulators are threatening to stop Medicare funding to the
hospital, citing serious safety problems in its psychiatric unit.
Regulators found psychiatric patients to be in “immediate jeopardy” in
an investigation prompted by the suicides. The hospital has until
Sept. 6 to fix the problems or lose funding, said the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services.
