City Of Prague Files Lawsuit Against Hospital Owner

The hospital is owned and operated by “Empower,” which owns as many as ten small rural hospitals around the Midwest. Prague Mayor Cliff Bryant says they have done very bad job of managing Prague’s hospital, and he wants a Lincoln County judge to allow the hospital to be put into receivership, until a suitable owner is found.

News 9 reached out to Empower Tuesday and haven’t heard back.
