The approval by the state department of health allows the two Scranton hospitals to integrate operations across their campuses.
A single board of trustees and executive team will oversee operations at the hospitals, according to the report. Physicians are now joined on a single medical staff and medical executive committee.
“Our boards, physicians and employees are united in a vision for serving our patients and Northeastern Pennsylvania,” Michael Curran, who took over as CEO of both hospitals earlier this year, said in a news release. “Operating under a single license brings efficiencies that strengthen the delivery of care and position us well for the future.”
