North Star Health Alliance and consulting firm Wintergreen mutually ended their contract, with Wintergreen to provide transition support for 30 days as NSHA navigates Chapter 11, seeks state funding to avoid cuts, and reorganizes. Interim CEO Andrew Manzer praised Wintergreen, while public scrutiny over Wintergreen's $450/hour top-rate noted, though it was among the cheaper bids compared with rivals at up to $810/hour.

North Country Lawmaker Slams North Star Restructuring Amid State Intervention Talks

North Country Assemblyman Scott Gray denounces North Star Health Alliance’s restructuring plan as absurd and urges state action as the system faces layoffs and care disruptions during Chapter 11. Wintergreen would be paid about $240,000 monthly, raising concerns about the use of operating funds. Gov. Hochul says discussions on receivership are underway but provides few specifics, while Gray calls for immediate worker protections and patient-care measures, suggesting options like repairing the CT scanner, deploying a portable CT unit, and bolstering emergency services to stabilize access in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties during bankruptcy proceedings.
