Digital spend to hold target census

Monthly digital cost to stay at target — not the climb to get there. CPA, discharge rates, and close rates (admits ÷ PPOs) are from the last 6 months (Feb–Jul 2026). Discharge rate = % of current census leaving each month (shown as % · patient count). Hold admits = that same rate × target. Digital $ = (discharge rate × target − Alum − BD) × CPA. Optimistic assumes better close (+ CPA −15%).

Near-term targets

Woburn and Elevate at 75 (already past 50). Red Ribbon Recovery Indiana, Colorado, and Mpower at 50. Close % = admits ÷ PPOs.
