The hospital failed to make a payment Sept. 3 after the bond trustee demanded full payment of all principal and interest in August. UMB Bank, the bond trustee, said Jackson hasn’t made rent or lease payments for five months, according to the report.
Moody’s Ratings and S&P Global downgraded the health system in recent months, with S&P issuing a “D” rating after the last missed payment. Jackson has not provided audited financial statements for the 2022 or 2023 years.
