The company made a $6.9 million “stalking horse bid” for the 15-bed rural Kansas hospital, which means if any other bidders emerge they must at least match the amount Rural Hospital Group submitted.

So far, Rural Hospital Group is the only bidder, according to the report. 

Hillsboro Community Hospital entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March after its previous owner defaulted on bills.
