St. Francis sold the two Honolulu, Hawaii, hospitals — now called HMC East and HMC West — in Jan. 2007. In Aug. 2008, Hawaii Medical Center filed for bankruptcy and currently owes St. Francis $46.3 million in loans.
In its reorganization plans, St. Francis seeks to re-acquire the hospitals from Hawaii Medical Center and plans to select a hospital management company to operate the two facilities, according to the report.
A bankruptcy judge will soon determine whether or not the plan, and plans by HMC and an unsecured creditors’ committee, are feasible before they are reviewed by creditors.
