Private Equity Firm Expects $17M Profit From Sale of Illinois' MetroSouth Medical Center

Falcon Investors LLC, a private equity firm based in New York, is primed to make $17 million in profit after the pending sale of its hospital, MetroSouth Medical Center in Blue Island, Ill., is completed, according to a Crain's Chicago Business report.

Four years ago, Falcon bought MetroSouth, formerly known as St. Francis Hospital & Health Center, for $1, according to the report. MetroSouth was a failing hospital with St. Louis-based SSM Health Care at the time, and Falcon invested a net total of $23 million into the facility.

Franklin, Tenn.-based Community Health Systems announced in December it would acquire MetroSouth from Falcon, and the deal is expected to be worth $40 million.
