OhioHealth Corp. and a Southeast Ohio hospital this week signaled they are close to a merger after a five-year arms’s length relationship, but the deal isn’t done yet.
Central Ohio’s largest health system would become sole owner by year’s end of Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center in Cambridge (pictured) if all steps fall into place, NBC4 reports, citing a legal notice published this week.
Trustees for both Columbus-based OhioHealth and Southeastern’s parent Guernsey Health Systems would have to approve the merger before any deal can go forward. Both are nonprofits.
