Creditors are battling during bankruptcy proceedings over payment related to the closure of Hahnemann University Hospital, according to KYW Newsradio.
American Academic Health System announced plans in late June to close financially-struggling Hahnemann by Sept. 6. The academic medical center has already ended emergency department services as part of the wind down process.
Now a battle is ongoing in bankruptcy court over payments to creditors, who will provide services during the wind down of the 496-bed academic medical center, according to KYW Newsradio.
The station reported that Hahnemann took out loans totaling $53 million, part before and part after filing for bankruptcy.
