Saint Francis Hospital in New York's Hudson Valley got permission from Bankruptcy Judge Cecelia Morris on Wednesday to be taken over by Westchester Country Health Care Corp., which offered more than $30 million for the struggling 333-bed facility, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. Saint Francis Hospital officials picked that bid over an earlier $24 million offer from another health-care provider called Health Quest Systems Inc., which has ties to the nearby Vassar Brothers Hospital.
