LifePoint Health Executive: Purchase of St. Francis Likely to Close Before End of Year
Thursday, November 19th, 2015
A Tennessee health-care company’s agreement to purchase financially strapped St. Francis Hospital in Columbus is on schedule to close on Dec. 31, a LifePoint Health executive said Wednesday.
The sale of the nonprofit hospital to a for-profit company has to be approved by the Georgia Attorney General’s office, which will hold a public hearing on the matter Tuesday at 5 p.m. at St. Francis. The attorney general will submit a report 30 days after the hearing.
