Emory spokesperson Janet Christenbury said Emory will assume or repay around $168 million of DeKalb’s outstanding bond debt as part of the merger. In addition, Emory has agreed to provide $239 million in post-transaction capital investments in DeKalb Medical facilities over seven years.
The Georgia Attorney General’s Office earlier this month approved the integration of Emory, a nonprofit health system with seven hospitals and 200 provider locations in and around Atlanta, and DeKalb Medical, a nonprofit health system consisting of three hospital campuses with a combined 627 beds. Dekalb Medical is slated to integrate into Emory Sept. 1.
