Facing a potentially material loss from a proposed sale, Bellevue Hospital’s sole bondholder turned to Gibbins Advisors. We successfully advocated for a robust marketing and transaction process and scrutinized financing requirements to effectively manage liquidity. The result far exceeded initial expectations: ~100% bondholder recovery, ~100% return to unsecured creditors, a material CapEx commitment from the buyer and a sustainable model for the hospital moving forward.

When the hospital faced imminent closure, Ronald Winters stepped in as Chief Restructuring Officer and led a high-stakes turnaround. In just six months, a robust Chapter 11 sale process secured a major regional health system as the buyer—ensuring no disruption to patient care. A complex ER physician group claim was resolved, and strategic negotiations delivered a meaningful payout to creditors while preserving most jobs.

As the lease for Desert Regional Medical Center neared expiration, the Hospital District (landlord) was debating whether to assume control of hospital operations or negotiate a lease renewal. We laid out the significant financial and operational risks to enable an informed decison. The community voted to renew the lease—preserving stability, optimizing value and avoiding major disruption.

Two mission-driven hospital systems serving a disadvantaged community were struggling with material financial losses and decided to explore a merger. Gibbins Advisors conducted a rapid synergy and opportunity assessment, delivering a robust fact base and stakeholder-aligned roadmap to guide ongoing partnership discussions and strategic transformation.

After a $25M fraud, failed EMR install and severe cash shortages forced the sudden closure of the hospital, Gibbins Advisors worked as Receiver to stabilize the situation, drive asset recoveries, engage competing stakeholders, and protect patients’ medical records.
