July 01 2009 - 9:49AM
Business Wire
Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. (NYSE Amex:PZZ)
(�Prospect�), which owns and operates five hospitals and manages
the medical care of HMO enrollees in Southern California, announced
that it has filed a Report on Form 8-K/A with the Securities and
Exchange Commission containing the required stand-alone audited and
unaudited financial statements, together with pro forma financial
information, for Brotman Medical Center (�Brotman�). As previously
announced, effective April 14, 2009, Prospect increased its
ownership stake in Brotman from approximately 33% to approximately
72%, following Brotman�s financial turnaround and successful
emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings.
Brotman is expected to play an increasingly important role in
the Company�s growth plans, with financial performance expected to
continue to improve as Prospect�s proven hospital operating model
and experienced hospital management team are applied to that
operation. Further details may be found in the 8-K/A filing.
Founded in 1924 and based in Culver City, California, Brotman is
a 420 licensed-bed acute care hospital that offers a wide range of
inpatient and outpatient services, including a 24-hour emergency
room, rehabilitation, psychiatric care and chemical dependency
services. Following several years of significant operating losses,
Brotman voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in
October 2007. Prospect's hospital management team, along with
Brotman�s medical, administrative and other staff worked together
to substantially improve the hospital�s operations. After
non-recurring restructuring costs, Brotman is now operating
profitably for the first time in many years.
