Company takes over Elko hospital

Wednesday, June 10, 1998 | 10:13 a.m.

Elko General Hospital changed hands on Wednesday when Commission Chairman Mike Naninni signed the papers that turned it over to Province Healthcare.

Province plans to build a new 75-bed hospital. Site selection is underway and the new facility should be in place in about 2 1/2 years.

Naninni said some employees could be leaving as early as this week, although Province has not announced plans for any layoffs.

Province also is donating $500,000 to the Elko Senior Citizen Center.
