CommonSpirit said it is currently working toward an agreement with an undisclosed third party to transfer ownership of 13 critical access hospitals and one full-service tertiary hospital along with their associated clinics and home health operations. The hospitals are in North Dakota and Minnesota.
CommonSpirit first disclosed that the facilities were being held for sale in financial documents released in September. The disclosure came about four months after CommonSpirit and Duluth, Minn.-based Essentia Health abandoned a deal that would have transferred the 14 hospitals to Essentia.
CommonSpirit, formed in 2019 through the merger of San Francisco-based Dignity Health and Englewood, Colo.-based Catholic Health Initiatives, reported net income of $269 million on revenues of $8.5 billion for the three months ended Sept. 30. In the same period a year earlier, the 140-hospital system posted net income of $800 million on revenues of $7.7 billion.
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.
