JMMC was previously known as Johnson Memorial Hospital, but rebranded as a medical center after emerging from bankruptcy.
The hospital filed for Chapter 11 protection in Nov. 2008. Under the reorganization plan, unsecured creditors, including the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, will be paid at least $9.3 million over five years, of which about $1.5 million will be paid immediately.
“Emerging from bankruptcy without being sold or merged into another organization is an unusual outcome in the healthcare industry,” Peter J. Betts, LFACHE, President and CEO of JMMC said in the release. “Now that we have exited Chapter 11, we have exciting plans for the future of healthcare services in North Central Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.”
