San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital, Loma Linda University Health Care to Affiliate

San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital, a nonprofit hospital in Banning, Calif., has entered into exclusive talks with Loma Linda (Calif.) University Health Care concerning an affiliation, according to a report from The Press Enterprise.

Jerilynn Kaibel, chairwoman of the SGMH board, told the Enterprise the hospital wants to reach an agreement that would involve the health system taking on a long-term lease to operate the hospital. She said San Gorgonio Memorial Healthcare District voters would need to approve the arrangement, which would not involve the sale of the hospital, according to the report.

Earlier this year, the hospital hired MDS Consulting to evaluate potential affiliation partners. SGMH officials said last year they wanted to affiliate with Loma Linda University Medical Center but backpedaled on that decision in favor of conducting a broader search.
