Senior Counsel Paul Jasper served on a panel titled "Shuffling the Deck: Managing Business Operations and Complex Chapter 11 Issues in Healthcare and Hospital Bankruptcies” at the 2023 California Bankruptcy Forum. Paul was joined by fellow panelists Judge M. Elaine Hammond, Tonya Moyron of Dentons, and Nicholas Rubin of Force 10 Partners. The panel discussed the factors driving an increase in hospital bankruptcy filings, key decisions to be made at the onset of the case, strategies for addressing hospital-specific assets such as Medicare and Medicaid provider agreements, navigating regulatory hurdles for selling nonprofit hospitals, and the increasing role of local and state government in efforts to save struggling community-based hospitals that are essential to the populations they serve.
