Why it ranks here

  • 90-150 days cash on hand
  • margin slipping
  • part of a multi-hospital chain — divestiture candidate
  • urban — higher occupancy and iteration surface

  • estimated price exceeds the capital envelope
  • strong occupancy — good iteration surface
  • nonprofit — expect AG conversion review
