MU selling its minority interest in the Fulton Medical Center

The University of Missouri confirmed with ABC 17 that it will sell a non-controlling minority interest in the Fulton Medical Center.

The university said it will sell its 35 percent stake in the facility to NueHealth, which has majority ownership. MU has had a stake in the center since 2014. A university spokesperson said the decision was disappointing, but was made due to low in-patient volume and continuous money loss.

The university said it will continue to have a presence in Callaway County through its clinic, University Physicians-Callaway Physicians.
