Failure to Raise $5 Million Forces New Jersey Hospital to Seek Partner

William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, N.J., has failed to raise $5 million in community contributions, money the hospital would have used to revitalize the facility, so the organization is seeking a partnership that will allow it to remain open, according to the Press of Atlantic City.

The hospital indicated last November that it would be forced to close if it didn’t receive the $5 million in loans from private lenders. It has abandoned its community loan drive and paid lenders back, but will remain open as it tries to negotiate a partnership or possible merger.

The hospital’s interim CEO, Jim Rossi, said William B. Kessler is exploring options over the next few weeks, and has several talks scheduled with different southern New Jersey hospitals, according to the report.
