Why it ranks here

  • 90-150 days cash on hand
  • occupancy below 30%
  • margin deteriorating
  • part of a multi-hospital chain — divestiture candidate
  • rural — cheaper but limited density
  • small but workable bed count
  • very small ticket — sub-scale as a platform asset
  • very low occupancy — limited volume to learn from
  • nonprofit — expect AG conversion review
