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.
