The preliminary injunction was to force Western Reserve Hospital Partners, the group of doctors that co-owns the hospital, to be more open about how the for-profit facility is run.

Summa Health owns a minority share of the hospital, and is taking the physician-owner group to court. Summa wants to sell the hospital building and says the ownership group is resisting an independent appraiser setting a fair market value.

Western Reserve Hospital Partners leases the building and contends it’s committed to buying it, but at a price set under the co-ownership agreement. The lease expires in December.

Western Reserve officials will not comment, citing the pending litigation. In a written statement, Summa says the two sides began negotiations last week but did not reach a settlement. It adds that Summa is still committed to finding a resolution ensuring Western Reserve Hospital remains an important part of the community.
