Pauls Valley hospital likely to stay closed unless donor puts up $5 million

Unless a charity with $5 million on its hands steps in immediately, a financially troubled rural hospital in Pauls Valley likely will close down for good, its operator said Monday. Pauls Valley Regional Medical Center closed its doors on Friday. Frank Avignone, the CEO of Alliance Health Partners, said the company's plan required $5 million to keep the hospital running until a permanent owner could step in.
