"Medical Properties Trust Continues Selling Spree with Utah Hospital Deal"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Healthcare Dive

Medical Properties Trust has sold the majority of its interests in five Utah hospitals for $886 million to an unspecified investment firm's joint venture, while also receiving a $190 million secured loan. This comes after the recent sale of five hospitals to Prime Healthcare for $350 million, as MPT aims to free up liquidity following financial challenges related to its exposure to Steward Health Care's financial instability. MPT reported a net loss of $556 million for fiscal year 2023, citing the Steward shortfall as a significant contributor to the results, and is pursuing several sales to shore up at least $2 billion in liquidity.

RSV Cases Among Children Soar in Utah Hospitals Post-Thanksgiving

Originally Published 2 years ago — by KUTV 2News

Utah hospitals, including the University of Utah Health and Primary Children's Hospital, are reporting a surge in cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among children following the Thanksgiving holiday. RSV, which presents symptoms similar to a cold but can lead to serious respiratory complications, poses a particular risk to infants and young children. Health officials advise parents to keep sick individuals away from their children and seek medical care if symptoms worsen. Pregnant women between 32 and 36 weeks can receive a newly approved vaccine, while an infant vaccine is currently in short supply.
