Payroll Delay Unsettles Staff at Randolph Health

Payroll for Randolph Health’s roughly 800 employees arrived later than expected on Friday, amid concerns about the finances of its for-profit owner.

Employees at Asheboro’s only hospital say its private equity-trained owner hasn’t delivered on promises—and conditions have only gotten worse.

The hospital system’s plan to make nurses bid against each other for extra shifts was abandoned after a social media firestorm.

WakeMed attracted two suitors, offering wildly different dollar figures. Why it turned down the higher number is still a bit of a mystery.

Lawsuits accuse Mike Sarian of using company accounts to fund personal expenses, including a luxurious Beverly Hills hotel and a Rolls-Royce.

Local politicians were desperate to save Asheboro’s only hospital. Now they say the for-profit buyer hasn’t kept his promises.

Documents reveal WakeMed snubbed its rival’s offer, despite UNC Health offering $3 billion more than Atrium.

UNC Health made an offer after learning Atrium had struck a merger deal with its Triangle neighbor.

As costs soar, the proposed partnership has energized a bipartisan effort to block monster mergers.

Clashes between large medical providers and insurance companies are on the rise, and patients are stuck in the middle.
