In advance of the hearing, Mr. Harder maintained that the system has a performance plan in place and will break even at the end of the fiscal year but attorneys for the system’s unsecured creditors have disputed his claims.

Meanwhile, more than 100 local physicians are pursuing plans to buy the two-hospital system, putting $1 million in an escrow account, but Valley Health has stipulated that the physicians partner with a nationally recognized healthcare organization.
