The West Volusia Hospital Authority is once again seeking a hospital contract with AdventHealth, nearly 10 months after the hospital system declined to sign a new contract.
During the WVHA commission meeting Thursday night, Andrew Murray, with the hospital authority's insurance company EBMS, said they are currently working with AdventHealth to have a contract signed by the end of next week.
"AdventHealth is going to see our patients; they are in a position to sign an agreement with us," Murray said. "I am confident they are going to sign that."
No one from AdventHealth spoke during the discussion of the hospital contract but did send an emailed statement to the News-Journal late Friday evening, though they did not address why they changed their minds about signing a contract with the WVHA.
