Queen's in talks to buy St. Francis West

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- The former Hawaii Medical Center West is on its way to new life.  After closing five months ago much of the Leeward community was left without a nearby emergency room. But now the Queen's Health Systems has signed a letter of intent to explore the possibility of buying the facility from St. Francis Healthcare System.  It's the prognosis Leeward Oahu residents were looking for to help them breathe easy.

"We are looking forward to working with Queen's to revitalize the West campus to continue the legacy of caring established by Saint Marianne Cope and the Sisters of St. Francis.  We believe that Queen's is well positioned to provide quality acute health care to the Leeward community," said Jerry Correa, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii, in a written statement.

Queen's is optimistic but also cautious because the sale is still in its infancy.
