Community Health Systems, now currently owns, leases, or operates 77 hospitals in 22 states – thanks to its recent acquiring of Lincoln General Hospital in Louisiana.
Lincoln General – which is Community’s third facility in Louisiana — is a 157-bed acute-care hospital in Ruston, La.
Community isn’t necessarily done adding hospitals to its roster. The company also announced its $6.8 billion bid to purchase Triad Hospitals Inc. of Texas, which would give it a combined total of 130 hospitals in 28 states.
