OROVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 8, 2025--

Oroville Hospital and its parent corporation, OroHealth, today filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to help facilitate and maximize the value of a transaction and preserve its critical healthcare facilities for the community. The filing will best position the hospital to maintain its strong focus on high-quality patient care and continuity of operations, while maximizing stakeholder interests. The hospital, its skilled nursing facility, its clinics, and its related services will all remain open and continue serving the community during the Chapter 11 process.

The hospital issued the following statement regarding the Dec. 8 filing:

“We believe this filing is an important step toward securing the hospital’s long-term future as a vital healthcare provider and employer in our community. The purpose of the filing is to facilitate a court-supervised transaction with a partner that has the resources and operating experience to invest in the hospital and maintain its mission for the benefit of all our stakeholders.

“It is important to emphasize that we will remain open and continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Patient care remains our top priority and will be unaffected. As part of this process, we have secured additional financing that will allow us to continue to provide patient care, support employees, pay vendors, and serve the community during the bankruptcy process.

“As part of our strategy for maintaining Oroville Hospital’s long-term viability, our board recently made the decision to pursue a transaction with a partner to ensure that we can continue serving residents of Oroville and the surrounding foothill and valley communities, as we have done successfully since 1962, for many years to come.

“We appreciate the continued support of our physicians, employees, patients, labor union partners, vendors, elected officials, community leaders, residents and other stakeholders as we work through this process.”

The Chapter 11 petitions were filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division. Judge Christopher M. Klein is the presiding judge.

The hospital is being advised by the law firm of Fox Rothschild LLP, under the leadership of partners Keith Owens and Nicholas Koffroth, which is serving as the general bankruptcy counsel.

The hospital has retained Cain Brothers, a division of KeyBanc Capital Markets, as the investment banking firm to advise the hospital on the process to select an affiliation partner.

In addition, the law firm of Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C., led by partners Robert Miller and Karl Schmitz, is serving as special healthcare regulatory and transactional counsel.
