The bid from SA Hospital Acquisition Group is a stalking horse bid, meaning it will set the floor price in the bankruptcy auction. The auction is set for July 28, according to the report. 

The bid comes after the hospital secured temporary financial relief in June, when it received $16.5 million in COVID-19 relief aid from the federal government. The funds were made available to safety-net hospitals through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, according to the report.
