Hartford HealthCare, one of the two largest health systems in Connecticut, has offered $86.1 million to purchase Manchester Memorial and Rockville General Hospitals from Prospect Medical Holdings, the California-based operator that filed for bankruptcy protection in January.
ECHN Holdings Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford HealthCare, will serve as the “stalking horse bidder” for the two hospitals in the court-supervised sale auction, according to court documents. The “stalking horse” serves as the first bidder in a bankruptcy auction whose offer serves as the minimum bid.
