West Suburban Medical Center owner can keep control of hospital, judge rules

A Cook County judge ruled that Manoj Prasad may continue to run West Suburban Medical Center, denying a request for a receivership.
The dispute centers on control of the hospital after Prasad closed it and furloughed most employees amid financial strains.
Patlola alleged financial mismanagement and sought to reclaim control of the hospitals through a receiver.
The ruling remarks noted no evidence that Prasad mishandled funds, though lease terms and finances remain unsettled.
The decision leaves West Suburban operating under its current owner as talks continue about reopening and stabilizing finances.
Patlola had previously sought to evict Resilience from the hospitals and pursue a receiver for management.
West Suburban Medical Center sits on land owned by Patlola’s Ramco, complicating the ownership dynamics.
Prasad aims to fully reopen West Suburban later this month or by early July after initial clinical restart.
There is ongoing concern in both Oak Park and surrounding suburbs about reduced hospital access due to the dispute.
The case involves multiple parties and facilities, including Weiss Memorial Hospital, once part of the same purchase.
