LifePoint is out; Fiscal Court may have to save Hospital "Plan B" now falls on Adair Fiscal Court and CJE; whether they meet the challenge or not may mean the difference in whether there is a hospital in Adair County or not By Ed Waggener Adair County Judge Ann Melton said today that LifePoint has lowered its offer to a totally unacceptable figure, and the Nashville for-profit is now out of the picture as a buyer for Westlake Regional Hospital. "We knew yesterday," she said, "but we had to allow time for all hospital employees to be informed before making the news public." The Judge said she and others from all parts of the community have been working on a backup plan. "Saving the hospital is now not a partisan matter. It is a community matter. It can be saved," she said, "but only with help of everybody in the county - and especially on the Adair Fiscal Court, including all seven magistrates and of course, on me, as County Judge Executive." Many in the community believe that the responsibility for failure to achieve a sale and the hospital's desperate financial circumstances falls most heavily on the current hospital board and the management firm responsible for the hospitals fortune - or misfortune - the past 18 months.
