2 hospitals in the Los Angeles area still struggling, one with bankruptcy and the other in Downey could face closure all together if financial pictures don't improve...BD
Brotman Medical Center, a key healthcare provider serving Los Angeles' Westside, is expected to seek protection from creditors in Bankruptcy Court as early as next week, according to three executives familiar with the matter.
The hospital, which would not confirm or deny the possibility of a bankruptcy petition, is not expected to close -- although that always remains a possibility in bankruptcy cases. The executives who provided the information asked not to be identified because the decision hadn't yet been made public
n recent interviews with The Times, executives at Centinela Freeman Health System and Downey Regional Medical Center said they were considering closing their emergency rooms. Downey's chief operating officer, Rob Fuller, said the hospital could close entirely as early as next year if its financial situation didn't improve soon.
