Hospital to Close After Sale Fails
Just months after negotiations to sell the AMI-Glendora Community Hospital to a group of local doctors fell through, 350 hospital employees have been notified that the facility will close in November.
The 30-year-old hospital on West Alosta Avenue will remain open if American Medical International can find another buyer before Nov. 6, hospital officials said Friday.
The hospital’s board chairman, Bill Raymond, acknowledging that the 165-bed facility has not been operating at full capacity, said AMI has been divesting itself of other hospitals.
“It was a business decision,” he said of the move to close down. “We are still all (hoping) that there may yet be an offer that could put off the closure.”
