Trinity Health – New England has announced the signing of final agreement documents that officially transfer Johnson Memorial Hospital’s assets to Trinity Health – New England. The merger completes a process that first started in July 2012.
The Stafford-based Johnson is the fourth hospital to join Trinity Health – New England, the new regional health group that also includes Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center and Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital, both in Hartford, Conn., and Sisters of Providence Health System, and its affiliate Mercy Medical Center, in Springfield, Mass.
Last month, the state Department of Health Office of Health Care Access approved the acquisition of assets of Johnson Memorial by Trinity Health – New England, Inc., a member of Trinity Health, Inc. Trinity Health – New England has also acquired assets of several affiliated organizations, including Johnson Health Care, Inc., and Home and Community Health Services, Inc.
Trinity Health – New England is a member of Livonia, Michigan-based Trinity Health, one of the largest multi-institutional Catholic health care delivery systems in the nation. Trinity Health also owns The Mercy Community in West Hartford, a senior living and healthcare provider.
Johnson’s formal affiliation with Saint Francis dates back to July 2012, when the organizations signed an affiliation agreement.
On Nov. 25, Saint Mary’s Health System in Waterbury filed its Certificate of Need with OHCA. After anticipated regulatory approval, it is also anticipated to become a member of Trinity Health – New England.
