Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield yesterday said it had reached a tentative deal in U.S. Bankruptcy Court to buy the former North Adams Regional Hospital for an undisclosed sum and reopen its emergency room next month.
The proposed purchase is subject to the approval of Judge Henry Boroff, who will seek other bidders, said Michael Leary, a spokesman for BMC's parent, Berkshire Health Systems. If there are other bidders, a bankruptcy auction would be held, and if the 302-bed BMC is the successful bidder, it would begin providing emergency services in North Adams the week of May 19, Leary said.
It also would need to invest $10 million or more, in addition to the purchase price, to pay for repairs and improvements to the former 109-bed hospital, he said.
David Schildmeier, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Nurses Association, called the proposed agreement a "Band-Aid to a crisis."
"The ultimate solution — one that the community, public officials and the nurses and other workers at the hospital want — is the restoration of a full-service hospital," Schildmeier said.
North Adams Regional Hospital abruptly closed on March 28 due to financial problems.
