MedCath Completes Sales of Heart Hospitals in New Mexico, Arkansas

MedCath has sold Heart Hospital of New Mexico to Lovelace Health System in Albuquerque and Arkansas Heart Hospital to AR-MED, according to company news releases.

The transaction values the Albuquerque-based Heart Hospital of New Mexico's assets at $119.0 million. Purchase terms for the sale of Little Rock-based Arkansas Heart Hospital are based on the hospital's valuation of $73.0 million plus a percentage of its available cash.

Lovelace is an affiliate of Ardent Health Services, based in Nashville, Tenn. AR-MED is majority owned by Bruce Murphy, MD, a physician affiliated with Little Rock Cardiology Clinic and a current investor in the Arkansas Heart Hospital.

The two deals bring MedCath's total transactions to nine since announcing in March 2010 it had formed a committee to consider the sale of the entire company or its assets.
