Filing Alert: Rock Regional Hospital Chapter 11

Rock Regional Hospital, LLC, a Derby, KS-based acute-care community hospital, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Dec. 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas.

The filing was necessitated by outstanding vendor debts and, most critically, litigation with its landlord that has led to a threat of eviction despite a pending appeal. The hospital, which employs approximately 200 people, intends to use the Chapter 11 process to reorganize, restructure liabilities, or liquidate as a going concern to preserve vital services and ensure the health and welfare of its patients.

To fund operations and a potential liquidation, the debtor is seeking approval of up to $2.5 million in interim DIP financing from a group of investors holding ownership interests in the company, alongside the use of cash collateral encumbered by senior secured lender Equity Bank.

The company reports $10 million to $50 million in assets and $50 million to $100 million in liabilities. The filing indicates that no funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors after administrative expenses are paid. The case number is 25-11362.
