CT regulators approve purchase of Greater Waterbury Health Network

The Connecticut Department of Public Health’s Office of Health Care Access (OHCA) on Friday issued its final decision approving the acquisition of Greater Waterbury Health Network Inc. by for-profit operator Prospect Medical Holdings.

Attorney General George Jepsen’s office also signed off Friday on the deal, according to Modern Healthcare.

Prospect will pay $43.3 million for Greater Waterbury Health Network’s assets, including Waterbury Hospital. The company has committed to investing $55 million in capital improvements over the next seven years.

OHCA’s final decision maintains the conditions set forth in its proposed decision, which was issued last month.
