St. Elizabeth seeks to halt Christ Hospital’s $24M expansion

Garren Colvin, CEO of St. Elizabeth Healthcare, said today that Northern Kentucky’s dominant medical provider will request a state hearing to object to Christ Hospital’s plan to build a $24 million ambulatory surgery center in Fort Mitchell. Edgewood-based St. Elizabeth, which operates five hospitals, will file the hearing request with the state Cabinet for Health and Family Services. An administrative hearing officer would consider arguments from both sides during a non-judicial proceeding in Frankfort, which could be held in July or early August.
