Congressman Tim Ryan said he's "encouraged" after a meeting Tuesday with officials of Ardent Health Services, a company looking to buy Forum Health.
Ryan met with the president and CEO of Ardent Health, a Tennessee-based hospital company.
Forum Health remains under Chapter-11 bankruptcy protection. Ryan said the meeting went "very well." He made it clear that he hoped "all parties could reach a mutually-beneficial agreement as soon as possible."
"If we are to lock in the many great successes we've had in the Valley recently -- V&M, GM, VXI and so many others -- it is critical that we find a solution that preserves Forum's economic benefit and health care services."
