Adventist Health takes over Bakersfield heart hospital, saves jobs

Roseville, Calif.-based Adventist Health has acquired the Bakersfield Heart Hospital for a nominal sum and is aiming to save 300 jobs there in doing so, according to a June 6 report from The Bakersfield Californian.

The 47-bed hospital had been owned by local physicians for several years, but financial losses due to the pandemic forced a sale, the report said. The hospital laid off 114 employees in September.

Adventist Health, which now operates four hospitals in Kern County since the June 1 takeover, also said it aims to get staffing numbers back to where they were before the layoff last year, according to the report.
