San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital, a nonprofit hospital in Banning, Calif., is considering affiliation partners, according to a Press-Enterprise report.
The hospital's board hired MDS Consulting to study the options, and it will receive a report in the next month listing potential partners, according to the report.
Last year, San Gorgonio officials said they wanted to affiliate with Loma Linda (Calif.) University Medical Center, but they backpedaled from that initial decision to cast a broader search net.
San Gorgonio has plans to construct a six-story patient tower with 120 private rooms, a project that could be helped with an affiliation partner, according to the report. The board is also looking to add two new members to help with decision-making.
