“The process of transitioning from a corporate for-profit entity to become a locally owned non-profit hospital is truly unheard of in this day and age of healthcare where many hospitals are struggling to survive,” interim President Danna Wagnon Taylor said.

The system is planning to raise $12 million over the next few years to invest in the hospital, according to an April news release.
