Thomas Albanesi, chief financial officer of the merged system, said a name for the new $1 billion revenue system will be released in a few weeks.
Both systems have created a five-hospital system serving approximately 750,000 patients through their merger.
“This preparation takes time and diligence to be properly launched,” said Mr. Albanesi. “We are already functioning as a unified health system.”
The merged system said the delay on the name comes as the health system is facing financial constraints, a decline in patient admissions, and competition from Bellevue, Pa.-based Allegheny Health Network and UPMC.
On Feb. 17, Butler Health System reported an operating loss of $16.6 million in its final quarter as a separate system.
