Hazel Hawkins spokesperson, Marcus Young, said in a statement that the obstacle to a potential deal is because county leaders have not presented a robust enough proposal.
“To be clear, the county was never told that it cannot conduct diligence or present a proposal,” Mr. Young said. “The county just needs to come to us with a qualified proposal, which they admit they do not have at this time.”
If Salinas Valley did come through as a possible partner for Hazel Hawkins, it would be in more of a sharing expertise and guidance role rather than a financial aid proposition, Salinas Valley Health said.
