If you follow Boone Hospital, today's Boone County Commission meeting matters. Documents previewing the meeting show commissioners are considering selling hospital property for $36 million to "Organization B." The Missourian says the resolution gets a first reading Tuesday, with a vote expected Thursday.
So who's Organization B? We don't know yet. Two buyers were interested, but neither is named in public documents, and a hospital spokesman didn't name them when ABC 17 News reached out. Spokesman Christian Basi did say the sale is part of the ongoing process to find a strategic partner to run the hospital.
