In a prepared statement, Tenet says it is now South Florida's largest private hospital operator, owning 13 acute-care facilities in the three-county region, including five in Palm Beach County. The two acquired properties produce $260 million in estimated annual net revenue.
The Santa Barbara, CA-based health services company intends to invest at least $36 million over the next five years in capital improvements at St. Mary's Medical Center, a 460-bed facility, and Good Samaritan Medical Center, a 341-bed facility.

Earlier this year, Intracoastal negotiated a settlement agreement with Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth to forego plans to eliminate acute-care services at St. Mary. Butterworth sued Intracoastal because of the potential impact on indigent patients who rely on the two facilities for health care services.
