The mayor of Hoboken, N.J., wants taxpayers to pay up to $5 million to help expedite the sale of Hoboken (N.J.) University Medical Center and to settle creditors' bankruptcy claims, according to a Star-Ledger report.
HUMC faces closure by the end of October if an agreement is not met, the report said. The city has said it will forego $2 million it is owed by the hospital, and there's still no guarantee the additional $5 million from taxpayers will appease creditors.
A group of investors that owns Bayonne (N.J.) Medical Center is looking to buy HUMC for $65 million and turn it into a for-profit hospital, but the deal hinges on the solution of the debt claims.
