The hospitals on the block include 170-bed Mt. Airy Hospital and 156-bed Western Hills Hospital, both in Cincinnati. A Mercy Health spokeswoman told the Cincinnati Business Courier several organizations are interested in buying both facilities.
Depending on the buyers, Mt. Airy Hospital is likely to close altogether, leaving only a medical office building. Western Hills Hospital will close some services, but its emergency department would remain open, according to the report. West Hospital is seen as a consolidated replacement hospital for those two, and employees at Mt. Airy Hospital and Western Hills Hospital could transfer to West Hospital in the process.
Mercy Health, part of Cincinnati-based Catholic Health Partners, currently has six acute-hospitals.
