Receiver appointed for hospital

A judge has appointed a temporary receiver for Haskell County Community Hospital.

Cohesive Healthcare Management & Consulting LLC will temporarily operate the hospital and provide reports to the court.

Associate District Judge Brian Henderson issued the ruling regarding the hospital receiver at the conclusion of a hearing in Haskell County District Court on Monday, March 11.

Representatives from Cohesive will be at the hospital in Stigler on Tuesday morning, according to a representative of the company. During the hearing, the company representative testified that if Cohesive was appointed as the receiver, they would be focused on performing assessments, getting paychecks to employees and working with each department in order to provide services to patients.

Additional details regarding the hearing and the rulings by Judge Henderson will be published in this week's Stigler News-Sentinel.
