Tags: Knapp Medical Center | merger | Texas | Valley Baptist

Merger plans for Valley Baptist Health System, based in Harlingen, Texas, and Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco, Texas, have ended, according to a report by the KGBT News.

The hospital and health system announced plans to merge in early April; however, the two recently called off discussions because of lack of support from Knapp's medical staff.

Valley Baptist CEO said in the report that Knapp had "unresolved issues" with its physicians.
