Construction of the eight facilities was funded by MPT for their original operator, Adeptus Health (“Adeptus”), between 2015 and 2017 at a total initial cost of $92 million. The specific locations for the hospital and surrounding FSEDs were chosen carefully in the underwriting process based on their strategic value in caring for lower-acuity patients closer to their homes and in diagnosing injuries and illnesses requiring advanced treatment at the system’s general acute facilities. Shortly after Adeptus filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2017, Dignity Health recognized the value of this footprint within a growing and aging local healthcare ecosystem and leased the facilities without interruption to care or any change to the rental rate.
