Falcon Investors has called off plans to purchase Brown County General Hospital in Georgetown, Ohio, just three months after being selected to acquire the facility, according to a Ledger Independent report.
According to the hospital, the firm did not provide a reason for calling off the deal.
Last year, Nashville, Tenn.-based Essent Healthcare was to acquire the hospital but pulled out just as the deal was about to close, according to the report.
The hospital will continue to seek partners that can provide capital investment in the facility. According to Brown County General CEO Mike Patterson, the hospital has struggled financially due to increases in uncompensated care and reduced government funding.
