After years of fighting, Presbyterian Hospital has dropped the legal challenge over the CON that CMC was awarded.
“We continue to believe that Presbyterian Hospital Fort Mill would provide the best access to remarkable care at an affordable price,” Armato’s memo states. “However, we also believe it is in the best interest of the people of York County to withdraw our opposition. Hopefully, our actions will allow the growing community to move forward more quickly with a much-needed hospital.”
To serve the needs of Fort Mill and to make the most Financial sense, I believe only Presby and CMC should have been the only health systems in this fight to start with. I do not believe that the CON will be overturned again and it was a smart move for Presby to win some respect before the final word is announced in April.
