Public meetings announced reviewing HCA Healthcare’s obligations to Mission Health System

News release from Gibbins Advisors:
As a part of our role as the Independent Monitor (IM) for Mission Health System, Gibbins Advisors has scheduled public meetings in October and November in several communities across Western North Carolina. The first four meetings will be related to (1) Transylvania Regional Hospital (Transylvania County), (2) Mission Hospital, CarePartners and Mission Children’s Hospital (Buncombe County), (3) Angel Medical Center (Macon County), and (4) Highlands-Cashiers Hospital (Macon and Jackson Counties).

Two additional meetings related to Mission Hospital McDowell (McDowell County) and Blue Ridge Regional Hospital (Mitchell County) will be scheduled in early 2024 (details to be released later).

As Independent Monitor, we review HCA Healthcare’s compliance with the obligations HCA agreed to when it purchased Mission Health System in early 2019. In each of the upcoming community meetings, we will discuss our role, provide an update on HCA’s 15 commitments, and provide an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and provide feedback.

Please see our IM website if you’d like more information on our role and the scope of our work.

All events are in-person and open to all members of the public. Attendance may be limited by space restrictions, so registration is strongly encouraged and available at the following link. Questions for the Independent Monitor can be submitted in advance using this same link or can be emailed to IndependentMonitor@gibbinsadvisors.com.

The community meetings will not be held at the respective hospitals, please note below the meeting locations and details. Doors will open 30 minutes before each event.

Interested parties are encouraged to check the Independent Monitor website for updates: www.independentmonitorMHS.com. Our presentation materials and a transcript will be posted online after the event.

Your voice is very important to our work and we encourage you to participate. If you are unable to attend but would like to connect with us, please use the contact form on our website.
