  • Sponsor and portfolio-company labels come from the cited tracker or primary portfolio evidence.
  • A management or staffing contract is not hospital ownership.

Evidence Notes

Contradictions, limitations, and unavailable fields

Open evidence notes
Limitation

CMS corroborates an enrolled ownership chain, but its owner names do not independently reproduce every sponsor or portfolio-company name from the tracker.

Limitation

The documented relationship is a clinical service contract. Valley Health remains a nonprofit system; this is not an ownership claim.

Limitation

This five-state template completion pass used official cached CMS/HIFLD/PESP/HCRIS sources and records missing items; it does not claim the entire internet was exhausted.

Unavailable

Precise acquisition date

Unavailable

Official facility URL

Unavailable

source-backed local CEO/current leader

Unavailable

Direct connection

SCP Health is the announced clinical staffing and management contractor.

Closure-risk evidence

Estimate method and source limits

CHQPR published May 2026 state totals and hospital financial tables, but not a named risk list. This is an estimated crosswalk and does not change the ownership/control status shown above.

Risk estimateImmediate Risk of Closure

  • CHQPR May 2026 state totals for rural hospitals at risk and at immediate risk.Does not prove: CHQPR does not identify this hospital by name as being in either risk group.
  • The hospital financial values used for the within-state estimate.Does not prove: The exact unpublished CHQPR risk classification or future closure.
  • The CHQPR hospital name, city, state, and payment-type context.Does not prove: Identity linkage to the website where the name match remains unresolved.
