Called it 3 years ago. The hospital system I work at went on a huge expansion kick, without the actual resources, in order to compete with 3 large health systems in the region that were closing in on them. The hospital just put out that we're exploring being purchased. While they went through the expansion, they didn't keep up with staff pay, now can't keep or hire new staff. Too bad, it was a great community health system that could have created a pretty nice little niche in their market, but tried to play with the big boys. RIP. I'd guess the sign out front will say Advent or Baptist in 18 months.
