A hearing has been scheduled for April 30 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston to consider an emergency motion from a company seeking to compel Insight Foundation of Trumbull to either pay for medical equipment leased to Insight Hospital & Medical Center Trumbull (formerly Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital) and Insight Hospital & Medical Center Trumbull (formerly Trumbull Regional Medical Center) or return the equipment to the company.

Post Road Equipment Finance alleges that Insight has failed to fulfill its obligations regarding leased medical equipment despite a court-approved hospital sale to Insight.

The filing states that Steward Health Care System, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2024, had leased surgical, imaging, and other medical equipment from Post Road.

When the Trumbull facility was sold to Insight, the sale order specified that the leased equipment was excluded from the transaction, and the parties were to reach an agreement on its disposition.

Post Road claims that, following initial discussions with Insight about a potential purchase agreement for the equipment, Insight failed to make agreed-upon payments and has since ceased communication. Post Road is now seeking a court order to enforce the original sale agreement and allow them to retrieve their equipment.

The bankruptcy court documents indicate that Post Road is requesting an order compelling Insight to allow them to remove the leased medical equipment within five business days.

Insight has not yet filed a court response to Post Road’s motion and has not responded to a 21 News request for comment.

Insight closed all inpatient, outpatient, and emergency room services on March 27th.  Insight has stated that their plan remains in place to redesign the hospitals’ operations independent of Steward.
