Harris Ruling On Prime Deal This Week

California Attorney General Kamala Harris is expected to make a decision by Friday as to whether Ontario-based Prime Healthcare Services should be allowed to acquire the six hospitals operated by the Daughters of Charity Health system. The deal has attracted the endorsements of two of the state\'s major newspapers. The Los Angeles Times concluded earlier this month that Daughters of Charity\'s mounting financial losses and the nearing expiration of emergency financing has put the hospital into an untenable financial position.
