Supported 100% recovery to the hospital's secured lender
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.
Secured a sustainable future for a critical regional hospital
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.
Merger and synergy planning for distressed safety net hospitals
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.
Senior living competitive assessment and turnaround planning
Struggling with financial underperformance and lender pressure, a regional senior care provider turned to Gibbins Advisors. We delivered an in-depth assessment—benchmarking performance, conducting our Senior Living Competitive Assessment (on-site competitor evaluation) and identifying key drivers—then provided a Turnaround Plan to drive volumes, increase revenue, and restore confidence.
Appointed Receiver to wind down the hospital and realize assets
Gibbins Advisors was appointed Receiver after Community Memorial Hospital closed due to financial distress. We led the controlled liquidation of assets, managed creditor negotiations, and ensured compliance with regulatory requirements, including patient record retention. Our strategic and hands-on approach helped maximize recoveries and provide clarity in a complex healthcare receivership.
