PROFILE |
 |
Clarent Hospital Corporation is hoping that a change in name will make all the difference. Formerly known as Paracelsus Healthcare, the company is attempting to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy under its approved plan of reorganization. Clarent owns or operates 10 acute care hospitals in seven states, primarily in the south. The company targets small and midsized markets. After accounting errors forced it to restate earnings from 1997 forward, the firm filed for bankruptcy protection. As part of its reorganization plan, the firm merged into one of its own subsidiaries and reincorporated as a private company with a new name.
