CHS withdrew its offer — which the board previously approved — after medical staff and community members protested the decision. The medical staff had recommended the hospital merge with non-profit University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina, but the board dismissed their recommendation.
CHS’s offer included a $30 million, 30-year lease of the facility.
BRHS is expected to revisit the 30-year least/purchase agreement from UHS for $24 million as well as a bid by LHP Hospital Group for a 30-year joint venture arrangement for $31.2 million.
