(KNZA)---The sale of the Horton Community Hospital, and related care facilities, has been finalized.
According to a release from the Atchison Hospital, which purchased the property, the sale was finalized March 19, transferring ownership from the facility trustees to Atchison Hospital.
The Atchison Hospital Association was the top bidder of $270,000 during a December 19, 2019 auction in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The release states that “reopening activities have officially begun, although employee resources will be moderated by the fluctuating nature of COVID-19 mitigation.”
According to the release, local contractors are already at work completing a major renovation of the clinic facility.
The public will, in the future, be invited to an open house to view the progress on the building as well as start the patient registration process.
The Horton Hospital closed its doors in March of last year, and was among seven hospital properties, formerly owned by EmpowerHMS, placed up for auction. The auction was held as part of a bankruptcy action taken by CAH Acquisition Company.
