RAWLINS, Wyo. (AP) - A company has been selected to manage the financially troubled hospital in Rawlins.
The Memorial Hospital of Carbon County Board members selected Quorum Health Resources during a special meeting Tuesday evening.
A management firm is being hired because the hospital has required $1.8 million in assistance from the county to pay bills and meet payroll in 2009.
Officials hope the firm will help identify operational and financial problem areas and help correct them.
Contract negotiations are to proceed immediately between Quorum and hospital officials.
