The Aiken hospital may go nonprofit or be sold to raise funds and avert tax losses. Records show the hospital paid over 1.2 million in city and county taxes in the past three years and more than 2.8 million in state and federal income taxes in 1993 and earlier years. Duke Endowment Fund shows interest if nonprofit status proceeds with HCA handling bids.
