Under the planned transition, the health system would make a one-time $5 million payment along with $500,000 yearly payments to a foundation to promote healthcare in Colorado Springs.
In December, HCA approached Memorial Health about a possible sale, but the city decided to move forward with its plans for a community non-profit.
Colorado Spring’s city council is expected to vote on the current proposal on Jan. 25. If the deal is approved, residents would vote on an April ballot.
