Recent court filings concerning the Yadkin Valley Community Hospital indicate the facility won't be reopening any time soon.  The dispute may not be heading to trial until next June.

Yadkin claims CAH Acquisition and other companies breached their contract by closing the hospital without warning, and interfered with the county's ability to negotiate with a new hospital operator.

The Winston-Salem Journal reports that CAH Acquisition claims that Yadkin County officials' actions led to the hospital closing, particularly by entering into negotiations for a new hospital operator without giving CAH an opportunity to sign a new lease.

County attorneys want a trial to begin by June 1, while CAH Acquisition wants it to begin two months after the end of the discovery period. Both sides expect a trial to last 10 days. Neither wants to have the case to be heard by a magistrate judge who could expedite a ruling.
