Hollister, Calif.-based Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital is “pursuing multiple angles to resolve the hospital’s fiscal emergency,” Becker’s reports.
The hospital’s board of directors on Nov. 4 passed a resolution declaring the fiscal emergency, which granted administrators the authority to file Chapter 9 bankruptcy if and when necessary. No bankruptcy filing has occurred to date, Hazel Hawkins said Nov. 29.
Hazel Hawkins has been in talks with the district’s creditors and is seeking ways to obtain emergency funding according to the release. The hospital’s outreach efforts have included discussions with the San Benito County supervisors, state assembly members’ and state senators’ offices and the California state treasurer’s office. The hospital has also had advocacy meetings with Association of California Healthcare Districts and California Hospital Association. Read more.
