Franciscan Health has acquired a vacant hospital in Hobart for an undisclosed price, but has not said what it plans to do with the building.
The single-story, 35,000-square-foot building is on 17 acres on the southwest corner of 61st Street and Lake Park Avenue, south of the St. Mary Medical Center, according to trade publication REJournals.
