Experts Say Concerns Ahead for Jewish Hospital Purchase

This week In Conversation, we talk about the University of Louisville's plans to buy Jewish Hospital and other properties and how those plans could affect the commonwealth. U of L announced last week that it had cemented plans to buy the hospital and other facilities owned by its parent company for $10 million. But it hinges on a $50 million loan from the state, and lawmakers said a special session to approve that loan might not happen. Our panel talked about the plan and what the hospital means to the community. Guests included State Senator Morgan McGarvey (D-Louisville), State Senator Stephen Meredith (R- Leitchfield), WFPL Health Reporter Lisa Gillespie and University of Louisville Emeritus Professor of Medicine Peter Hasselbacher.
