Colorado's Memorial Health System Approached by HCA, but Still Likely to Convert to Non-Profit

Memorial Health System, which is owned and operated by the city of Colorado Springs (Colo.), plans to convert from a city enterprise into a community non-profit, despite a recent meeting with HCA-Health One about the possible purchase of the hospital, according to a KKTV report.

Memorial Health CEO Larry McEvoy disclosed he had met with HCA-Health One to explore the option of selling the hospital to a for-profit system. However, he ultimately supports the recommendations of an independent Citizens' Commission, which supported the non-profit option.

The city council will now vote on whether to approve the commission's recommendations. If approved, the conversion would require a vote be city residents.
