A bankrupt public hospital in California is near a deal with a private operator that officials hope can keep the facility open. Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital is the only acute-care hospital serving the 67,000 residents of San Benito County. Its managers are pinning their hopes on American Advanced Management, a small Modesto, California-based hospital chain. San Benito Health Care District operates Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital in Hollister, California. AAM, which operates six hospitals and other medical facilities across the state, has written a letter of intent to operate Hazel Hawkins.
