By Josh Beckerman
The Federal Trade Commission is seeking to block the Community
Health Systems sale of two North Carolina hospitals to Novant
Health.
The agency alleges the $320 million transaction would allow
Novant to control nearly 65% of the market for inpatient general
acute care services in the eastern Lake Norman area, and says the
sale "threatens to raise prices."
Community Health Systems didn't immediately reply to a request
for comment.
The planned sale of Lake Norman Regional Medical Center and
Davis Regional Medical Center was announced in February.
