Allegheny Health, Education and Research Foundation, one of the nation's brashest not-for-profit health systems, last week filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The last-ditch move will allow Pittsburgh-based AHERF, which is $1.3 billion in debt, to restructure money-losing operations and pave the way for the sale of its nine Philadelphia-area hospitals. But the repercussions of the filing will be felt well beyond the state of Pennsylvania.
