I noticed this week when I stayed at the hospital with my brother who had surgery they had signs posted outside the hospital that no weapons open or conceal were allowed. I was under the impression that the hospital was owned by the city or the county one. But now I am not sure.
Here is the only information I could find. I am not well versed in this legal stuff. Does what is written below make it a privately own non-profit company or is it still owned by the city and county? Or the state for that matter? It looks to me like the local governments created their own non-profit corporation and if so can they still ban OC there?

The OMHS acronym remained the same throughout the change, and the hospital’s name was changed slightly, reflecting the minor change in the hospital organization.
