Forging a New Path for Petaluma Valley Hospital

PHCD owns Petaluma Valley Hospital (PVH) and is currently negotiating a definitive agreement to transition and lease the hospital’s operations to Paladin Healthcare. Its current lessee, St. Joseph Health, is continuing to operate PVH to give the District time to reach an agreement with Paladin.

District and St. Joseph are currently discussing and developing agreed-upon terms of an operations transfer agreement. Our expectation is that all parties will work expeditiously to reach the necessary agreements.

For more information on the due diligence process PHCD undertook to select its new long-term operation, please click here.

PHCD’s Board of Directors and CEO are committed to helping the community stay up-to-date on the process and engaged in our progress.

LATEST UPDATE: February 21, 2018

• The PHCD Board anticipates making a decision on Paladin’s management proposal within the next few weeks.

• The District has met with Cloudwave IT Healthcare Solutions and MEDITECH, the vendor of the current integrated EHR system at Petaluma Valley Hospital (PVH). MEDITECH will report back to the District about possible cheaper and faster solutions to segregate PVH data and transition it to a new MEDITECH system to be owned by a new operator.

• St. Joseph Health (SJH) is exploring whether it has any new models or ideas that would allow it to re-engage with the District. SJH should know more in the next several weeks.

• The District is open to re-engaging in negotiations with SJH, as we remain focused on identifying the best partner and operator for Petaluma Valley Hospital.
