Kaleida and Eastern Niagara signed a loose agreement to affiliate in 2016. The deal, which would make Kaleida the parent of Eastern Niagara, was approved in 2018 by the state health department. The hospitals applied for grants from the state to fund the project.
However, when the $204 million in grants were awarded in February, Kaleida and Eastern Niagara didn’t receive any of the allocated funding.
As a result, the deal could be affected, according to Buffalo Business First.
