UC plans to sell the concept to investors this fall and hopes to sell as much as $60 million in bonds, which would settle past obligations to Jewish Hospital and allow future expansion, according to the report.

In the meantime, hospital trustees are figuring out how to structure the company to insulate the university from the effects of the volatile healthcare market.
