Summary
Aliquippa Community Hospital asked a Beaver County court on Thursday to OK its sale quickly to a private owner that could provide capital and other support to help the facility return to full compliance with state health regulations. Attorney Michael Shiner, representing the hospital, said Commonwealth Medical Center, a new company led by a veteran hospital administrator from Georgia, is the expected bidder for the facility, which has 120 acute care beds. The hospital's major lenders are owed $22 million, he said. Approvals from Beaver County's Orphans Court, state health officials and the state attorney general are needed for the hospital's sale and continued operation. Aliquippa is operating on its fourth consecutive, six-month provisional license, the last allowed under state law. That license expires Feb. 2. The court has set a Nov. 30 hearing.
