Forum Health voluntarily filed for bankruptcy to reorganize under Chapter 11 in March 2009. A CHS subsidiary offered the $120 million bid in August, beating out Nashville, Tenn.-based Ardent Health Services, which previously bid $69.8 million for the system.
The CHS acquisition has since been approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Ohio Attorney General.
