Alhambra : Hospital Pact Canceled

Alhambra Hospital Corp. has canceled its management agreement with Alhambra Health Partners, and a new hospital administrator will oversee the facility within a few days, a hospital board member said Wednesday.

“We want someone there who is more under our control,” said the Rev. George Cummings, treasurer of the hospital board.

But negotiations between the board and Alhambra Health Partners for the sale of the hospital will continue, Cummings said. He said Alhambra Health Partners, a group of doctors seeking financing to buy the hospital, was willing to cooperate with the management change.

There will be no disruption or reduction of patient services as a result of the change, Cummings said.
