Madera Community Hospital (MCH) is barely on life support. The bankruptcy court is ready to drop the hammer and liquidate the hospital. The judge has given MCH a tight timeline to demonstrate that it has secured a buyer or management service to take over operations. Adventist Health has signed a letter of intent to reopen the hospital, but only if there’s a guaranteed commitment of $85 million for operating expenses for the next 2 years. MCH has applied for $80 million to the State’s Distressed Hospital Loan Fund. The award and the amount granted will determine whether MCH reopens. The State has indicated that it will announce its decisions by mid-month.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Please sign the petition and get family, relatives, neighbors, friends, colleagues, etc., to also sign the petition urging the Governor and legislature to do everything within their power to ensure that Madera Community Hospital reopens. It’s a matter of life and death.
