Care New England isn't reacting positively to CharterCare Health Partner's proposal to purchase Memorial Hospital. A CNE spokesperson released a statement saying the announcement came as a surprise, and that the plan is unfeasible considering previous conversations with CharterCare about buying Memorial proved fruitless. A United Nurses and Allied Professionals spokesperson added the announcement was a farce. CharterCare CEO John Holiver said on Thursday the company was preparing to make a ten-million-dollar capital investment and would purchase the hospital property and infrastructure as part of the deal.
