Carbon County officials are pleased with a local business' turnaround in recent years.
During the county commissioners' meeting on Thursday, Commissioner William O'Gurek pointed out that Blue Mountain Health System, which is comprised of Palmerton and Gnaden Huetten hospitals, posted a profit of $1.1 million for the fiscal year that ended in June. This was the first significant profit posted for the business since the hospitals merged to become Blue Mountain Health System in 2004.
