The 47-bed hospital had been owned by local physicians for several years, but financial losses due to the pandemic forced a sale, the report said. The hospital laid off 114 employees in September.

Adventist Health, which now operates four hospitals in Kern County since the June 1 takeover, also said it aims to get staffing numbers back to where they were before the layoff last year, according to the report.
