Just a few months out from its planned spinout of a new publicly traded company, Franklin-based Community Health Systems hasn't stopped buying.
The hospital operator — currently the nation's largest by hospital count — announced today it is acquiring 80 percent ownership of two Indiana hospitals: 27-bed IU Health La Porte Hospital in La Porte and 50-bed IU Health Starke Hospital in northwestern Indiana. The remaining percent stake will be owned by Indiana University Health.
