The ink hadn't even dried on Atrium Health's purchase of Wake Forest Baptist when this bit of news dropped. When it's all said and done, it will be the fourth ownership change for High Point Regional Hospital over the past decade. It went from local ownership to being owned by UNC Hospitals to being owned by WFU Baptist to Atrium to soon being run by Advocate Health Brand.
A skeptic of the High Point City Council once took the High Point Enterprise's former editor to task for suggesting that the city had "survived the Hospital Wars" because High Point Regional ceded local control to a public university at the time. Well, nothing is really local any more.
