Samaritan Health Services and MultiCare Health System are set to complete their merger on Nov. 1, according to announcements from both nonprofit organizations. The companies say the deal will proceed after securing required approval from state regulators.
The outlets describe the agreement as an affiliation approved by the nonprofits’ boards. Fierce Healthcare adds that the combined organization would operate an 18-hospital system and generate more than $7.5 billion in revenue, and that the arrangement would expand MultiCare’s presence into Oregon through an acute-care footprint. Healthcare Dive focuses on the timing and regulatory condition for closing, underscoring that the merger’s final step depends on state review.
