Senator Ana Caballero issued the following statement in response to the announcement that Adventist Health would no longer pursue a partnership with Madera Community Hospital. “I was disappointed to learn that a potential partnership with Adventist Health was no longer an option at this time for Madera Community Hospital’s plan to reopen. Since learning that Madera Hospital was in financial distress, I worked quickly to secure a $5 million appropriation and worked to expedite medi-cal reimbursement payments totaling more than $4 million from health plans for the hospital’s use,” Caballero said.
