Birmingham, AL – Trinity Medical Center in Birmingham is returning to single ownership. Under a deal announced Monday, Baptist Health Systems, Inc. would sell its 35 percent interest in Trinity to Franklin, Tenn.-based Community Health Systems.
Terms were not disclosed.
Trinity Medical Center is a 560 bed facility in East Birmingham.
Baptist Health and Community Health officials already have entered a joint venture to build a $316 million, 424 bed hospital in Irondale.
The new facility would replace Trinity and is expected to be completed sometime in 2011.
