Phoebe Putney Hospital, a non-profit hospital in Albany, Ga., plans to complete its acquisition of Palmyra Medical Center, a for-profit also in Albany, in February, according to an Albany Herald report.
The acquisition was announced late last month and officials expected the closing to occur before the end of January. However, due to licensing and regulatory measures, the process has taken longer than first anticipated and may spill over into February, according to the report.
Phoebe’s CEO Joel Wernick said the transaction will not result in layoffs and there are no plans for staff reductions, according to the report.
