The group that fought to stop the sale of Alive Hospice to a for-profit company is now calling for a change in leadership. Keep Alive Alive wants those on the Alive board to resign immediately.

This change in leadership follows weeks of speculation about the centers future and rumors that it might be sold to a for-profit hospice provider.

The governing board for Alive Hospice has decided the future of the 48-year-old Nashville end-of-life care center.

In a Twitter thread posted late last week, the Democratic politician called the potential sale of the non-profit an "outrage."

Rumors have swirled for weeks, with the organization's founders and some of its biggest boosters criticizing a possible sale.

Thousands of people in Middle Tennessee have joined us to do what we can to save Alive as a not-for-profit care provider for the community.

Countless lives in Middle Tennessee have ended peacefully with the help of Alive Hospice, but the founders worry that standard of care will decline if the rumors they're hearing are true.

Hospice founders and its advisory board say they have been shut out of the process, as rumors of a sale to a for-profit entity swirl.
