Gainesville, Fla.-based UF Health Shands and Community Health Physicians are both interested in operating the facility, according to the report. The Lake Shore Hospital Authority, which owns the hospital, held a virtual meeting Sept. 10 to discuss the proposals.
CHS, which operated the hospital, entered into a settlement and termination agreement in June with the Lake Shore Hospital Authority for the planned closure of Shands Lake Shore, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commision. CHS has stopped providing services at the hospital, and the hospital authority regains control of the property Oct. 1.
