From The Daily News -
For years, the Pineville Community Hospital provided essential medical care to the people of Pineville and surrounding parts of Eastern Kentucky. So when the 120-bed hospital’s financial troubles became acute in recent months, the community responded. Employees stayed on the job even when paychecks were late. And ultimately, the City of Pineville came to the rescue with cash infusions and operations assistance.
Now called the Pineville Community Health Center, the institution is being sold in a court-ordered sealed bid auction, with Tranzon Asset Advisors promoting the hospital and conducting the bidding. Sealed bids are due July 15.
“When someone is looking to invest in a business, few assets matter more than community support and employee dedication. In this case, you have a health care center whose dedicated employees kept working without pay, and whose city rallied to provide needed care when it was needed most,” said Ed Durnil, of Tranzon Asset Advisors, which is conducting the sealed-bid auction.
The acute care hospital, located at 850 Riverview Road in Pineville, has a total of 120 beds, including 30 skilled nursing long-term beds and 12 geriatric/psychiatric nursing beds, as well as an emergency room, intensive care unit, radiology, operating room, physical and occupational suites. It is being offered as an entirety as well as in eight lots.
“The top priority of the Trustee is to put it in the hands of new owners who will provide the long-term stability and management the people of Bell County deserve. After looking at all our options, we determined that an auction would provide the best opportunity for this,” said Jon Gay, attorney for the Trustee for the Bankruptcy Estate.
