Officials said Monday St. Francis Health will rebrand to The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus once the sale closes, which is expected to occur Nov. 1.
The rebranding comes four months after The University of Kansas Health System and Ardent signed an asset-to-purchase agreement for St. Francis Health.
The transaction is still subject to regulatory approval. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt will accept public comments about the proposed deal through Oct. 17.
