Tower Health plans to sell the hospital to Philadelphia-based Temple University Health System, which is partnering with Meadowbrook, Pa.-based Redeemer Health and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in the purchase. Temple will manage the 148-bed facility, which had 827 employees in August, according to the report.

The $28 million in cash from the sale would add five days to Tower’s cash reserves, the report said. Another five days of cash reserves would be added from the sale through eliminating losses at the Chestnut Hill location, currently amounting to $11.1 million through August.

Tower Health operates six acute care hospitals and 230 locations overall, serving 2.5 million people.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
