I think the Catholic church sold off several (maybe all) of their local hospitals. That happened over 10 years ago.

They were smaller hospitals and they were run as non-profits, but there weren't enough nuns to work in the hospitals any more. They've been bought up by UPMC and Allegheny General and added to the already huge conglomerates.

In most areas I think you're going to see that the Catholic Church is selling off all it can to avoid bankruptcy.
