A Los Angeles-based company that owns more than a dozen hospitals in four states filed for bankruptcy late Saturday night, the second major system acquired by private equity to collapse in less than a year.
In an initial filing seeking Chapter 11 protections, Prospect Medical Holdings, which owns facilities in California, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, listed debts of more than $400 million. In a press release announcing its restructuring, the company said it would continue to operate as normal.
"Throughout the Cchapter 11 process, Prospect Holdings' hospitals, medical centers, and physicians' offices will remain open, and patient care and services will continue uninterrupted," the company wrote.
