Community First Healthcare of Illinois is a benefit corporation — a relatively new form of corporation in Illinois — created to pursue both profits and the public good.
Presence determined finding a buyer was the best way to maintain operations of the 269-bed Chicago hospital, which has been struggling financially. The hospital reported a $9.8 million loss in 2013.
