The report said roughly $30 million in capital investments would be made toward Christ Hospital. The hospital would have been $11 million in the red if it hadn’t received a $7 million state grant.
If the sale is approved by each entity’s board and by the state, Christ Hospital would become the fourth nonprofit hospital in its county to become a for-profit institution since 2008, the report said. The others are Bayonne (N.J.) Medical Center, Meadowlands Hospital in Secaucus, N.J., and Hoboken (N.J.) University Medical Center.
