But its building was owned by Medical Properties Trust—a real estate company based in Birmingham, Alabama, that charged Glenwood monthly rent.
Wild guess: Medical Properties Trust offers to buy the asset from the city/whoever giving them a nice chunk of cash to bolster their bottom line, then lease the building back to whoever is running the hospital. Except cities got out of the hospital business decades ago, so they're run by charitable religious foundations or - no surprises here - other corporate for-profit entities. Yet another way in which our healthcare has been totally enshittified.
Fucking jews.
