Unions have opposed the proposal, questioning Centurion’s willingness to invest in the facilities.
Jeffrey H. Liebman, CEO and president of CharterCARE Health Partners, which runs the hospitals under Prospect, said at the public meeting that Centurion has been the only viable candidate to come forward to buy the hospitals.
The second public comment session is scheduled for March 26 at Rhode Island College and virtually. State regulators have until June 11 to approve or deny the application with conditions.
