Sharon Regional Medical Center is set to reopen Tuesday, about two months after the former Steward Health Care facility in Pennsylvania closed.
On Friday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health approved Pasadena, California-based Tenor Health Foundation’s plans to reopen the 163-bed hospital. In January, Judge Christopher Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston signed off on the hospital management company’s takeover of the facility, which employed more than 800 workers.

Sharon Regional Medical Center closed on Jan. 6 after Meadville (Pa.) Medical Center’s proposal to acquire the facility fell through due to funding issues.
Steward, a Dallas-based for-profit hospital chain, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May. Sharon Regional Medical Center is one of 31 hospitals that Steward sold or closed.
