KY Creates Statewide Health Network
The University of Louisville board of trustees has authorized its president to approve a merger that would create a statewide health care organization with more than 3,000 physicians and 91 locations with combined revenue of more than $2 billion.
The merger, first announced in November, would involve Jewish and St. Mary’s, the University of Louisville and Catholic Health Initiative systems.
The board Thursday authorized university President James Ramsey to sign merger documents as soon as details are finalized, The Courier-Journal reported.
Officials would not comment on when the merger would occur, saying only that it will be “soon.”
